- Burden the insurance industry with required coverage of unnecessary items.
- Continue frivilous lawsuits which increase premiums (legal fees, awards, defensive medicine)
- Complain about the rising cost of healthcare
- Blame greedy insurance company executives,
- Say that a government takeover is the only solution to control costs.
Back to liberals and their false advocacy of choice. (The only time they care about choice is when it comes to abortion). You now CANNOT get a plan that doesn't include birth control pills, but you are paying for it. Why do they want to take away choice from the consumer.
..WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration says health insurance plans must cover birth control for women with no copays.
The requirement, affecting most insurance plans, is part of a broad expansion of women's preventive coverage. Breast pumps for nursing mothers, an annual "well woman" physical, counseling on how to avoid sexually transmitted diseases and other services will also be covered at no cost to the patient.
The new benefits won't take effect for at least another year, Jan. 1, 2013, in most cases. Insurers are expected to pass the cost on to their customers through slightly higher premiums.
The rules issued Monday by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius include a provision that would allow religious institutions to opt out of offering birth control coverage.
