The Biden administration has announced a proposal to expand access to free over-the-counter birth control for individuals covered by private health insurance. This initiative, which comes two weeks before the election, aims to require private health plans to cover various contraceptives, including condoms and birth control pills, at no additional cost to consumers. The proposal is part of a broader effort to enhance reproductive rights, a key issue in Vice President Kamala Harris's re-election campaign.
