The change means that insurance companies that participate in the Health Insurance Exchange program will be prevented from covering abortions. the rest

It is possible that this was only a measure taken to pass the bill through the House. There have been speculations that state funded abortions will be added to the bill again once its in the Senate.
Hopefully this won't happen.
