Did the federal government’s health care overhaul provide coverage to everyone for tobacco cessation?
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act requires some level of cessation coverage in most private plans, for pregnant women enrolled in Medicaid and for the state exchanges. However, people on Medicaid who are not pregnant are not guaranteed coverage of cessation treatments. State policymakers, by taking action, can ensure that all the treatments are available to everyone in a state.
