Why the model tagged it this way: The bill makes a technical amendment to the purpose clause of the California Reproductive Health Equity Program, explicitly adding that abortion and contraception must be affordable (in addition to accessible) for all patients regardless of ability to pay, while retaining the financial support for safety-net providers of uncompensated care. This change substantively addresses abortion via funding/insurance mechanisms by broadening the program's equity mandate.
