On August 1st, 2012 the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) required all health insurers and employers to cover the cost of contraceptives in their health insurance plans. The provision currently exempts religious organizations and churches.
All teenage girls should be given IUDs by the government.
Just make it over the counter (and hence more affordable) like many other countries do.
Not knowledgeable enough
Sex is a leisure activity, just like sky diving. You don't have to do it; but if you do pay for your own parachute.
Unfortunately yes, birth control is needed in this hyper-sexualized society that progressives utterly adore, but I'm not having a single penny of mine cover for the recklessness of others.
No, because birth control kills a life that has just been made. The second that an egg is fertilized, a baby is created, and it is alive. Using birth control is killing a baby. It is no better than abortion.
No, birth control should not be allowed ever.
Yes! We make such a big deal about pro-life, but won't give birth control to people who need it. If a person can't afford birth control every month, do you really think that they can afford a child? People are going to have sex. It's natural and in our DNA, but we are smart enough creatures that we can get our fix without having a child. Religion says all these things about it, but religion should have nothing to do with you insurance or government.
Yes. If Viagra is covered then so too should the preventative measures designed to deal with Viagra's aftermath!
If free birth control, then free ED drugs for men. Only free birth control for women is discrimination against men who have to pay for a limited amount of prescription drug.
If pregnancy is treated as an illness then all forms of pre fertilization birth control should be considered preventive care and covered under the insurances preventative care policies. These policies do. Or need to be the same for all companies.
If they won't cover it in their insurance premiums then they should be required to offer paid maternity leave.
Government should fund free birth control
Yes, depending solely on the fact that there should be SOME sort of population control, especially considering that younger people are half the time uneducated/get tangled with emotions that coerce their decisions, such as having a child young and not being able to provide.
no, birth control is murdering a human being and that action will be charged on company as well
Publicly funded abortion and contraception should be more widely available. Planned Parenthood's funding should be increased and more governments should adopt policies that discourage population growth.
Since when is birth control a "Health issue" pregnancies aren't contagious and we've never had an out break of them.
Yes, while birth control is sinful, it is better than abortions, and you can't do much more than that in a sexually saturated society.
Yes until pro-choice is approved and no longer an issue, women should have another option.
I feel that if more insurance providers did this the birth rate may slow down and give us the ability to have less children in homes, less use for abortion, and advance the chances of more high school graduates.
Yes - it could possibly reduce the number of families on welfare, abortions and unwanted children who ultimately wind up in prison.
It should be covered for people below the poverty line.
Yes, if they also cover vasectomies.
Yes, Condoms should also be free.
No because then girls can have sex all the time without any worry and then they get an STD and they don't make a pill called "STD control"
Yes, provided they provide paid maternity leave.
Yes If It's For Health Reasons Not For Unprotected Sex Benefits
Humans should only try to make babies when they are willing to so they don't need birth control.
Yes, birth control is a problem for a lot of Americans. Especially since we have no control of our population as children don't practice safe sex. From sexually transmitted diseases to unplanned births. I believe that the prerequisite to receive free birth control though are preliminary screenings to ensure that those that take birth control understand that birth control is not 100% and that choosing abstinence is always a better choice.
No, single males or parents who are too old to have children have no need for these services. By having the health insurance providers require this service increases the cost of the service.
Yes, birth control is a medical necessity for many women, and Insurance companies should not be allowed to push their "morality" on the general public.
Yes, some people have PCOS and need it to survive
What's so hard about buying your own birth control? is it that expensive? If it is then don't have sex. You have hands.(unless you don't then I dearly apologize for being insensitive.)
Yes but make women pay higher premiums
birth control and surgeries such as vasectomies and hysterectomy.
Yes! Until poverty, child abuse and therefore potential to be educated sufficiently is successfully addressed, birth control needs to be very easily accessed. An educated mind is a less emotional and impulsive mind. I think it should be available ALSO OTC but kept/stored behind the pharmacy counter.
America should stop being so barbaric and implement free health care
Carpet bomb birth control on low-income areas
@6LTV2X42yrs
No, health insurance should not give out birth control at all
Yes, population growth is out of control and is an existential threat to humanity.
No, because it makes teens think they can have sex any time they want because of birth control pills.
No, why should a retired 65 year old woman have to pay for birth control or pregnancy on her insurance.
Yes. I believe it should.. the number one seller in America is sex and if it's going to continue that way than I believe it should be offered free to the people who feel the need to be on BC... Especially in teens nowadays. It can stop the abortion rate to an extent.
