EEOC says birth control should be covered
BYLINE: From
Journal Sentinel wire reports
BODY:
Viagra set off
protests among women who argued that health insurance companies
that cover a male sex drug also should cover birth control pills for women. Now
a federal agency agrees, saying it's against the law for many health plans to
exclude contraception. The decision by the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission has potential implications for millions of others whose health
insurance plans exclude birth control pills, diaphragms and
other forms of prescription contraceptives.
