Mich. Should Pass Law Requiring Birth Control Coverage For Insurance Plans Covering Prescription Drugs, Editorial Says
�Michigan is one of about 25 U.S. states that do not have got laws requiring insurance plans that cover prescription drugs to cover birth control, and that "should variety," a Lansing State Journal editorial says.
According to the State Journal, a group of res publica House Democrats in February introduced a measure (HB 4295) that would authorisation insurance plans that cover prescription drugs to cover all FDA-approved birth restraint products, but the measure has "bypast nowhere." As a recent "episode" regarding the issue in Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) presidential campaign showed, this "is an way out that flies below the radar," the editorial says.
However, research has shown that increased access code to contraception "equals fewer unplanned pregnancies ... which should lead to fewer abortions," the editorial says, citing a Brookings Institution psychoanalysis that establish an expansion of class planning services, including contraceptives, covered by Medicaid for young women led to a lessening in unintended pregnancies. The analysis too estimated that the amount saved by avoiding each unintended pregnancy is $6,800, according to the editorial. The State Journal concludes that Michigan's insurance law should "reflect" the fact that birth control "works" (Lansing State Journal, 8/5).
