Hello...Birth control is covered under Federal Employee Health Benefits

[pinto]

Federal employees, including members of Congress, are eligible for health care coverage as a benefit of employment. The majority of coverage is provided by Blue Cross/Blue Shield. A majority of fed employees choose BC/BS. BC/BS includes birth control prescription coverage in its plans.

This brouhaha over birth control coverage is hypocritical at best and plainly, politically contrived in a more cynical view.

1. States and cities do also

NYC Public Employees are covered. My daughter has, and her husband still does, work for the NYC Public Schools. BC is covered, although with a co-pay, as with all scripts.

Where are the bishops complaining about this? I worked for a Catholic Non-Profit Agency and BC was covered through CIGNA that we were insured through. They seem to implly all that all Catholic organizations are covered by the Church. CIGNA is a religious organization?

2. Military is also covered

So all you people out there...of every religious background and non religious background...pro BC and anti BC...covered my BC and my husband's vasectomy...Thanks
