| It's not fair! Nearly half of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unintended, and more than half of all unintended pregnancies end in abortion. Yet fewer than half of all states require insurance companies to cover birth control. In states where insurance coverage is not mandatory, the decision to provide coverage is left up to individual businesses or insurance plans.
Not covering birth control is unfair, especially when drugs such as Viagra® are covered. Contraception is a basic health care need — it's used by 98 percent of women who have had vaginal intercourse at some point in their lifetimes.
Planned Parenthood is committed to ensuring that insurance companies cover contraception. To find out more about this vital issue, visit Cover My Pills. |
