From Yahoo's The Lookout:
No more co-pays for contraception
Paying for birth control? Not anymore. Health insurance companies are required to stop charging women co-pays for contraceptives such as birth control and condoms Wednesday under new rules in President Barack Obama's health care reform law. The stipulation also requires plans to cover cervical cancer checks, sterilization and a few other women's health care expenses without a co-pay.
Insurance plans that haven't
changed significantly since 2010 are "grandfathered" out of this rule,
however, and plans that renew Jan. 1 instead of Aug. 1 won't have to
provide the care for free until then. Religiously affiliated
institutions, such as Catholic colleges, won't have to provide the
coverage until next summer because the Obama administration granted them
an extra year to come into compliance.
Many of these religious
companies and nonprofits have sued, saying the rule violates their
freedom of religion. Obama has argued that the insurance company, not
the employer, will foot the bill for the contraceptives because
providing them will eventually save the insurance companies money due to
fewer unplanned pregnancies.
See the ghouls' "logic", kiddies? Living people are just money wasters. Just wait until they apply this to your Nana and PopPop. Will you fight back or let them be murdered?
But there is some good news...
Last week, a judge sided
with a Colorado-based air conditioning company, Hercules Industries,
whose owners said providing contraception to their employees through
their insurance plan would violate their religion. The judge said the company does not have to comply, but that his decision applies only to Hercules.
