Men, Too!

Men are surprised when they learn that health insurance plans often do not cover contraception. And their reactions can be blunt and to the point.

"Women ought to be pissed-off about this!"
or
"Why hasn't somebody done something about it?"

The truth is, most men want health insurance to cover contraception.

As taxpayers, we are already paying the high cost of unintended pregnancy.

Did you know that for every $1 of public health funds invested in family planning, $4 to $14 of public funds is saved in pregnancy and health-care related costs? (The Alan Guttmacher Institute)

It doesn't have to be this way.

Employers and lawmakers need to hear from men too.
