@joinyouthuz

According to the report, Tesla has offered since last year, "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."

- Tesla will cover travel and lodging costs for employees to receive health-care services not offered in the states they reside.
- Though a report from the company does not mention the word "abortion," the wording of the policy seems to include such a procedure.
- Tesla is based in Texas, where the state legislature has already made accessing abortion services difficult by banning most after six weeks of pregnancy. Open / Comment
