Section 27-54-1 Legislative intent; public policy. (a) The Legislature finds the following:
(1) Mental illness affects many citizens of this state each year, resulting in anguish, grief,
desperation, fear, isolation, and a sense of hopelessness of significant levels among victims
and families. (2) Consequences of mental illness include the significant expenditures of public
operating funds for treatment and losses of millions of dollars by businesses in the state
in accidents, absenteeism, nonproductivity, and turnover. Excessive stress and anxiety and
other forms of mental illness clearly contribute to general health problems and costs. (3)
Typical health coverage in this state by some insurers provides individuals and affected families
of mental illness with nonexistent or limited benefits compared to provisions for other illnesses.
(4) Experience in this state and several other states demonstrates that the risk of mental
illness can be insured at reasonable additional cost, provided...

26-23C-2
Section 26-23C-2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds all
of the following: (1) Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, P.L. 111-148,
federal tax dollars, via affordability credits, subsidies provided to individuals between
150-400 percent of the federal poverty level, are routed to exchange participating health
insurance plans, including plans that provide coverage for abortions. (2) Federal funding
of insurance plans that provide abortions is an unprecedented change in federal abortion funding
policy. The Hyde Amendment, as passed each year in the Labor Health and Human Services Appropriations
bill, and the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program, FEHBP, prohibit federal funds from
subsidizing health insurance plans that provide abortions. Under this new law, however, exchange
participating health insurance plans that provide abortions can receive federal funds. (3)
The provision of federal funding for health insurance plans that...
