Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble is the latest company to announce it will offer assistance for travel expenses for employees related to medical treatment, including abortions.

In a release, the company states “the legislative environment and the recent Supreme Court decision (Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health) are also affecting where some healthcare needs can be met.”

P&G states starting Jan. 1, 2023, their healthcare plans will expand coverage for travel support for travel expenses to receive medical care when a provider is not available within a 50-mile radius.

“Access to healthcare is an important issue to many people, and we recognize their broad range of views,” P&G said. “P&G’s focus is on providing healthcare flexibility and access for our employees and their families.”
