I wouldn't be surprised if they charged more for policies that exclude that. It seems to me there is an easy solution. Offer a special free birth control card to all policy holders. They just have to go to the web site or call to get it.

(6,818 posts)Would you rather pay for a woman's birth control for 9 months or an unwanted pregnancy and ob/gyn charges for 9 months?
Which one is better for the insurance companies bottom line, if you think like a CEO??

And this is where the pro life people show their true colors. Its not just abortion they oppose. Many oppose basic birth control.

(58,674 posts)Just saying, Ins co's are all about the money. No morality or religious BS involved with their operations.
Not a lot of real morality in the "pro life" a-holes either. A lot of false religiosity, mmostly designed to control people's sex lives, motsly women's sex lives. When the modern movement started back in the 50's and 60's women weren't supposed to enjoy sex, but only endure it to please their husbands and "be fruitful and multiply."
So, yeah, I get it. If it was really about "the children" they wouldn't oppose pre-natal care, childcare, or education. But they do.

It was Obamacare (ACA) that tried to put an end to that injustice, and someday America might join the rest of the world in making it so.

Some issues warrant thinking with your penis first.
Everybody gets to have more sex!
