The Affordable Care Act requires insurers and group health plans to cover more than 100 preventive health services recommended by the task force, with no cost to patients.

Biden administration withdraws birth control rules
The Biden administration is withdrawing a set of proposed rules aimed at expanding access to contraception that would have made it more difficult for employer-sponsored health plans and insurers to exclude coverage of birth control.
The move, announced late Monday in a Federal Register notice, will leave in place Trump-era rules allowing employers to cite "non-religious moral objections" to the Affordable Care Act's requirement to cover contraception.
