BP PLC said Wednesday it will assist with travel expenses of
U.S. employees for covered health care services after the Supreme
Court's ruling on abortion.
"We believe that all of our U.S. employees are entitled to
consistent and safe access to the benefits already covered by our
health care plans. That's why BP has decided to assist with travel
expenses for covered health care services that cannot be obtained
near where an employee lives," the oil company said in a
statement.
BP is the latest company offering to cover travel costs for
employees who need to cross state lines for medical care. Procter
& Gamble Co., Target Corp. and Kroger Co. are among the latest
companies to say they would provide benefits for workers who need
to travel for abortions.
