White House marks day of action on reproductive rights

Meanwhile: HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure are issuing a letter to governors to underscore that state anti-abortion laws don't negate providers' responsibilities to comply with federal laws that protect access to emergency health care.

• The letter also invites states to apply for Section 1115 Medicaid waivers to provide increased access to care.

Of note: Also Friday, the HHS is releasing its report in response to Biden's executive order calling for the protection of access to reproductive health care services in the aftermath of Roe v. Wade being overturned.

• The report outlines an action place for access to medication abortion and contraception, access to care under the law, protecting patient privacy, access to information, and access to data.

Catch up quick: Biden's executive order signed in July called on HHS to identify policy options to provide access to reproductive health coverage, including through Medicaid, and including for people traveling across state lines.

• Biden issued another executive order earlier this month to protect people's ability to travel out of state to access abortion.
