I would think the bean counters at all these insurance companies would be all over this and have been giving Birth Control away years ago. It would save the companies millions because they wouldn't have to pay for the healtcare of those children.
This country is so twisted, everything is about greed except the unborn, and they are more protected than the Commander in Chief.

(35,440 posts)No sane thinking American would ever object to women getting contraceptives through their health insurance. However, the 1% want to build up the "controversy" in order to win cheap votes from the insane.
Meanwhile, the 1%'s real economic agenda is literally destroying the American middle class.
Issues like abortion and contraception are irrelevant as they could hop on a private jet to the Cayman Islands.

The family plan does not indicate how many children you have. The couple who have 10 kids get an insurance bargain compared to those who have 2. (Not that I would want to feed 10 8 more mouths).
The insurance company is covering those extra 8 at the same rate as they do the first 2.
I would think it would be an accounting decision to increase the greed.

I figure the 1% (who run insurance companies among other things and make these decisions) are really worried about running out of cannon fodder for their military-industrial complex if all women actually get control over their childbearing.
