AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would change the Medicare law that decides which medical residency programs count as approved for Medicare funding. Starting when the bill becomes law, a residency program that trains residents in performing or assisting with induced abortions, or in counseling or referrals for abortions, would not count as approved if it gives or requires that training without the resident first choosing to opt in. A program would also lose approved status if it discriminates against a resident who does not opt in to the training or who does not perform, assist with, counsel on, or refer for abortions.
