What Is at Stake with the Federal Contraceptive Coverage Guarantee?

[摘要] Among the many health policy advances of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the requirement that most private health plans nationwide include coverage of contraceptive methods and services. This federal contraceptive coverage guarantee builds on earlier coverage policies in more than half the states,1 as well as a groundbreaking ruling in December 2000 by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission stating that denying coverage for contraception in a health plan that covers other preventive services and prescription drugs amounts to sex discrimination.2
