The legislature additionally finds that access to the full range of health benefits, as guaranteed under the laws of this state, provides all New Yorkers with the opportunity to lead healthier and more fulfill- ing lives.

The legislature finds that abortion care is part of pregnancy-related care, and failure to provide coverage for the full range of pregnancy- related care interferes with an individual's personal health care deci- EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
