It will help decrease the cost of medical insurance so it was a good decision.
Somehow I doubt that. Medical insurance companies aren't going to give back anything. They will gouge as much as possible every chance they get. And even if they did, it will be something like taking off $2.00 out of a $600 a month insurance premium. Are you joking?
That said, you all need to buy your own birth control. It's no one else's responsibility but yours.
I know the right to life movement would like to take this as a win, but insurance companies are not religiously oriented. This is nothing more than a financial win for them. If it suppases all challenges then they will no doubt have a basis for not insuring us against any healthcare resulting from things we do intentionally with our bodies. Why couldn't a smart lawyer argue that birth control is nothing more than "preventive care" so let's deny coverage for anything that fits that description. In the future perhaps we'll just be covered for; life insurance, accidents, major medical, and workmans comp, the big money makers for the industry.

If birth control was supposed to be covered it would have been in the ACA bill.
But it wasn't. And Obama bypassed Congress and made his own special rule back in 2012.
Trump undid Obama's rule.
Obama bypassed Congress alot during his 8 years and made lots of "rule by EO".
That is now coming back to haunt everyone as Trump can do the very same.."rule by EO".
The Pill usually costs between $0–$50 a month, depending on the type. Many health and family planning clinics (such as Planned Parenthood) sell birth control pills for less. And birth control pills and doctor visits are covered by many health insurance plans.
take account now the Dr will not be covered if that's why you are going to see him/her -for a refill.
but that's ok your taxes will just have more kids to feed
Can't count on that Planned Parenthood having the funding in the future thanks to the GOP...

Birth control is a basic and mundane part of women's health care and it should have been included. By keeping it out it got more people on board who are Catholic.

Honestly I don't care that ACA pays for it. But it should have been an amendment to the ACA bill, sponsored and passed by Congress, NOT an EO signed by Obama.
Now, think of all the other EO's he signed because he bypassed Congress.
I've always thought "rule by EO" was wrong. Presidents don't make laws; Congress does.

If you like what they do, donate to them.
No reason government should fund them.
