I'm disappointed that IBD is making this incorrect statement. The HHS directive requires all insurance to PAY FOR contraceptives, abortifacients, and sterilization WITHOUT ANY COST to the customer. No other type of treatment is being given such privileged treatment, and this is a great injustice to people who need surgery or medicine for illness or injury. Everyone has "access" to anti-fertility "services": go to a drug store or medical practitioner and pay cash, in the absence of other arrangements.
IBD is one of our best sources of conservative commentary these days - what the "Wall Street Journal" used to be, way back. If they can't give correct information, then it seems there's really no chance of getting facts through the kultursmog.
“The HHS directive requires all insurance to PAY FOR contraceptives, abortifacients, and sterilization WITHOUT ANY COST to the customer.”
You mean all insureance companies must pay their “customers”, (I assume you mean policyholders) claims for their costs of contraceptives, abortifacients, and sterilization without applying deductibles or co-pays?
