Huh I didn’t know this. In Canada it’s like the opposite. Go to the hospital or break something or doctor check in all free, but contraception you’ve gotta pay.
From the article:
Since 2012, the Affordable Care Act has mandated that private insurance plans cover the “full range” of contraceptives for women approved by the Food and Drug Administration, including female sterilizations, emergency contraceptives and any new products cleared by the F.D.A. The mandate also covers services associated with contraceptives, like counseling, insertions or removals and follow-up care.
