Occurrences

Now, we are working to eliminate it once and for all, which is why I am proud to be a cosponsor of the Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance (EACH) Act, to help ensure everybody can access the full spectrum of health care, including abortion care, regardless of their income or the source of their insurance.

He commits to ending the Hyde Amendment and supporting abortion coverage in health insurance.

Evidence

Congress.gov shows Adam Smith as a cosponsor of H.R.561, the EACH Act of 2023. The bill would require federal health programs and plans to cover abortion services and repeal ACA coverage restrictions, but its latest action was referral to the Subcommittee on Health on 2024-12-17 and its status remains Introduced.

Smith took a concrete pro-coverage action by cosponsoring the EACH Act, but the measure did not advance to enactment and remained stalled in committee. This is strong evidence of effort, not delivery.

Smith's official reproductive-health page says the Hyde Amendment blocks abortion coverage for people with federally sponsored or subsidized insurance, and says he is working to eliminate it by backing the EACH Act and the Reproductive Health Care Accessibility Act.

This is Adam Smith's own current statement of intent: he explicitly frames Hyde as the barrier and says he is still working to remove it. It supports ongoing commitment, not completion.

Assessments

unresolved unknown A for effort

Adam Smith has clearly and repeatedly backed the promised policy, but the promised federal outcome has not been achieved. Congress.gov shows he was an original cosponsor of H.R. 561, the EACH Act of 2023, on January 26, 2023, and the bill remained only Introduced, with latest action on December 17, 2024. His official House page also says he is still working to eliminate the Hyde Amendment and expand access, which is evidence of ongoing effort rather than completion. As of 2026, federal restrictions tied to Hyde still exist: HealthCare.gov states federal funds, including Marketplace premium tax credits, cannot be used for most abortion services, and the January 24, 2025 White House order 'Enforcing the Hyde Amendment' reaffirmed that policy. Because Smith made a serious legislative effort but is still in office and the outcome remains open rather than conclusively closed by end-of-service, this fits unresolved with an effort badge rather than delivered or partial.
