HHS would study how abortion doulas support patients before, during, and after abortion care. The bill does not make insurance cover this care. It only requires a public report with findings and recommendations.

Abortion DOULAS Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Latest action on H.R. 2469: Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people seeking abortion care who use or may want doula support. It also affects abortion doulas, health care providers who work with them, state Medicaid programs, and HHS staff who would run the study. Low-income people and people in underserved or rural areas could be affected most if states later use the report to change access or coverage rules.
Why this matters: This matters because lawmakers and states may not have clear national data on abortion doula care today. The bill would gather that data and make it public. It could help states decide whether to cover this support through Medicaid or design programs for people who have trouble getting care. But the bill itself would not change coverage rules or require anyone to pay for abortion doula care.
