The department says the former EMTALA policy “does not reflect” the agenda of President Trump’s administration.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) rescinded a 2022 policy that requires Medicare healthcare providers to provide abortions. In its announcement, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) said that the interpretation did “not reflect the policy of this administration.”
“CMS will continue to enforce [the Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act], which protects all individuals who present to a hospital emergency department seeking examination or treatment, including for identified emergency medical conditions that place the health of a pregnant woman or her unborn child in serious jeopardy,” the agency stated. “CMS will work to rectify any perceived legal confusion and instability created by the former administration’s actions.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For President Trump and members of his administration as they seek to uphold the sanctity of life.
- For HHS Secretary Kennedy and CMS Administrator Oz as they update federal health policies.
