No.

What they did was cut the options for birth control severely - not even offering exemptions for medical conditions. So if you can’t take the generic, most common BC, you have to pay out of pocket.

Women have switched from safer BC to more dangerous options (for them, personally) to save money.

“While the [Affordable Care Act] preventive service requirements specify that FDA-approved contraception is a covered benefit, that benefit still has an impact on the overall cost of coverage,” she wrote in an email. “If plans were required to cover every single birth control option under all of those FDA-approved methods, the costs to consumers would be significant.”

Duh.

So now women have the government-approved option or they pay BIG time - even with a prescription.

Yes.

You’re paying for it.

And so is everybody else.
