The Department of Health and Human services recently includedcontraception in a list of preventive care under the Affordable Care Act. Because of this decision, women will have their birth control covered by their insurance without co-payments. #
The recent pollfinds that “two-thirds of Americans (66%) say they support the recent decision by the Department of Health and Human Services to require health insurance plans to pay for the full cost of birth control and other preventive services for women under the new law, and 24 percent of the public oppose the decision.” #
The Catholic Church has been the most outspoken opponent of the decision. Catholic hospitals, Catholic Bishops and Catholic medical providershave expressed their disapproval. Catholic groups claim that the federal agency’s provisionallowing religious institutions that offer insurance to their employees the choice of whether or not to cover contraception services is “too limited.” #
