With 30 years experience in the health insurance industry, I can tell you it does not cost an employer group any more money in premiums to cover birth control pills. To the contrary, it costs more for the insurer to pay for the prenatal care and delivery of pregnant women so it is considered the norm for the pill to be covered. An employer group would specifically have to request they be excluded from coverage as it is an automatic benefit. The argument that it shouldn't have to be paid for by the college/church holds no water.
And I gotta say this - dklassen, it appears that you have an attraction to our President because it seems to me that you can think of nothing else.
VK, you are my hero with the most interesting and well-written posts. You don't talk much, but when you do people listen and think.
Richie, you continue to dumbfound me.
Back to obscurity..
