, could soon be forced to travel across state lines to access the procedure, adding to the cost of an already often expensive health care service.“So, as it stands now, there is nothing that prohibits any company from providing reimbursements to their employees for any legal action, it would be no different than a company reimbursing their employee for work-related travel,” Guerrero said.
Walt Disney Co. said on Friday employees who are unable to access medical care in one location will be given affordable coverage to access the same care in another location, according to a company spokesperson. The benefit covers family planning and pregnancy-related decisions. Uber’s US insurance plans already covered reproductive health benefits, including abortion and travel expenses to access healthcare. The rideshare company will also reimburse any drivers sued under state law for providing transportation to a clinic through the app.
Guerrero also said the biggest issue isn’t an employee being reimbursed within the state that they live in. The issue would be “that employee crossing state lines from one state in which that abortion service is illegal into another state and receiving services that are legal in the state in which they receive them.”It is unclear if the state the employee resides in would criminalize the act of getting an abortion ins a legal state, according to Guerrero.
Guerrero also said the overturning of Roe V. Wade is going to make a “very vast and differentiating legal landscape.”
