In the States

Ask your state legislators to support contraceptive equity!

Question:

I live in a state that already has a contraceptive equity law, but my health insurance plan still doesn't cover contraception. Why?

Answer:

You are not alone. About half of all workers who get health insurance through their employer work for medium-to-large companies that are self-insured. Self-insured companies are not required to obey state insurance laws, such as contraceptive equity laws. If EPICC is enacted, your health plan will cover contraception.

You can make a difference - starting with your own health plan. Check out the do-it-yourself tool kit.
