A Historic Victory for Women’s Health
Planned Parenthood applauds the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) decision requiring new insurance plans to fully cover FDA-approved contraceptive methods without co-pays or other out-of-pocket costs. The HHS announcement follows a strong recommendation from the Institute of Medicine, an independent, nonpartisan medical body.

I applaud the decision to make birth control available to millions of women with no co-pays under the Affordable Care Act. All women, regardless of their employer or insurer, should have access to birth control if they want or need it. As the Institute of Medicine acknowledged, birth control is basic preventive health care that should be available to women without co-pays or other out-of-pocket costs.
