Albuquerque, NM – This morning, Attorney General Hector Balderas joined a coalition of 19 attorneys general in filing an amicus brief strongly opposing the Trump Administration’s decision to roll back a requirement under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for employers to include birth control coverage in their health insurance plans. The amicus brief supports the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s lawsuit challenging a new federal rule that would authorize virtually any employer with a religious or moral objection to contraception to block their employees, and their employees’ dependents, from receiving health insurance coverage for contraceptive care and services.
