The Trump administra­tion late last week took steps to let more employers opt out of providing birth control to women at no cost.

The new rule will allow any corporatio­n or not-forprofit group to exclude the coverage on religious or moral objections. The new policy is a long-expected revision to federal rules that require most companies to cover birth control as preventive care for women at no additional cost. The administra­tion also is tightening oversight of how plans sold under Obamacare cover abortion. With limited exceptions, abortions can only be paid for through a separate premium collected from enrollees. No public subsidies can be used, except in cases that involve rape, incest or preserving the life of the mother.
