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...

Section 22-21-278 Kidney disease treatment centers in certain municipalities exempted
from certificate of need requirement. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that it
is in the best interest of the state and its residents for kidney disease treatment centers
to be established and operated throughout the state so that any patient needing such treatment
will be able to utilize a hemodialysis unit located within a reasonable distance from his
or her home; that a shortage of kidney disease treatment centers now exists in the rural areas
and smaller municipalities in the state; that the existence of the certificate of need requirement
with respect to new kidney disease treatment centers is a factor that hinders the establishment
of new treatment centers in the less heavily-populated areas of the state; that, in order
to encourage and facilitate the development of new kidney disease treatment centers in those
areas of the state where such centers are most needed, it is rational,...
