Tesla to Cover Travel Costs for Out-of-State Health Care Including Abortions

Tesla will cover travel and lodging costs for employees to receive health care in states that don’t offer it. The policy was issued in 2021, and though it doesn’t say “abortions,” the wording suggests it. 

Tesla’s impact report says, since 2021, “An expanded Safety Net program and health insurance offering that includes travel and lodging support for those who may need to seek healthcare services that are unavailable in their home state.” The report was released Friday at the height of the Supreme Court leak regarding the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. 

Though Tesla is based in Texas, a state where abortion rights are already highly restricted, banning abortion after six weeks, the company plans to support its employees. The New York Times reported that the guidelines included abortions; however, Tesla has yet to confirm. 

Tesla isn’t the only company supporting women. Amazon and Apple promised to offer travel reimbursement for employees forced to seek out-of-state abortions.

Yelp and Citigroup offer travel expenses for employees that have to look out of state. If Roe v. Wade is overturned, it will leave the states to make individual decisions regarding abortion access. Some states that are likely to enforce restrictive abortion access are Texas, Florida, Ohio, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, Georgia, Arizona, Arkansas, Kentucky, and more.
