Partial list of companies who cover medical travel expenses.

Kaiser Family Foundation reminds us, there are a lot of companies who have insurance packages that already cover medical travel related expenses that include abortion.

Also, a lot of companies are quietly adding the benefit and not making it public. They cover medical care travel not specifically abortion.

Here are companies that have either added benefits over the last 2 years in response to new laws restricting abortion, or have made a point of releasing media statements that it is already part of the package. If you want links I did not save but all of this is either from Reuters, AP, Bloomberg or Kaiser.

Please note (from Bloomberg) Texas is already threatening criminal charges to businesses that provide benefits. Also the Republicans in congress are trying to get cancellation of government contracts to any company who provides the benefit. They've already started pushing against Citigroup - who issues the government credit cards.

JPMorgan Chase
Citigroup
Goldman Sacks
Meta

Uber

Walt Disney Co (Includes all subsidiaries - Hulu, ABC, ESPN etc)

Also, as of today, Bloomberg specifically pointed out Walmart insurance only covers abortion if the mothers life is at stake and does not cover travel at all. Since they employ nearly 2 million people in the US, this is a good place to start pushing.

I tried to get into on companies like Target, Costco etc but there does not seem to be anything in the media.

In the down thread, maybe everyone can add companies they know will cover.

I guess Republicans really do want a depression. I would love to see their money -0-. Remember republicans do not know how to govern, but they do know about losing cha ching.

I wonder how many third party insurance companies will continue to provide it.

Can they guarantee their employees won’t report women to law enforcement? In Texas there’s a $10k bounty for reporting that.

Should women trust strangers with the information that they want $$ to commit a “crime”?
