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

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...
