A highly influential panel of medical experts recommended to the U.S. Department of Health on Tuesday that all health insurance plans be legally required to offer free birth control to patients. In addition to covering birth control, the IOM suggested in its report that health insurers pay for HPV testing, contraceptive and lactation counseling, HIV screening and breast-feeding equipment. Making family-planning services available at no cost will help millions of women prevent unintended pregnancy and thereby reduce the need for abortion.
Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America added she was "confident that the Obama administration will adopt the IOM's science-based recommendation and thus make affordability of contraception a reality for all women."
I hope the Obama Administration does adopt the reccomendation. This would help many women across the country.
