Health Care Entity Protection Act

Summary

Health Care Entity Protection Act - Amends the Public Health Service Act to prohibit the Federal Government, and any State or local government that receives Federal financial assistance, from discriminating against any health care entity because (in addition to current prohibited reasons) the entity refuses to provide coverage of, or pay for, induced abortions. Expands the definition of "health care entity" to include (in addition to physicians) other health professionals, health insurance plans, and any other kind of health care facility, organization, or plan.
