Ariz. bill could require another reason for birth control coverage besides birth control |
PHOENIX (AP) — Women in Arizona trying to get reimbursed for birth control drugs through their employer-provided health plan could be required to prove that they are taking it for a medical reason such as acne, rather than to prevent pregnancy.
A bill nearing passage in the Republican-led Legislature allows all employers, not just religious institutions, to opt out of providing contraceptive coverage when doing so would violate their religious or moral beliefs.
When a female worker uses birth control pills, which can be used to treat a number of medical conditions, the bill would allow an employer who opted out to require her to reveal what she was taking it for in order to get reimbursed.
The bill thrusts the state into a raging national debate about religious freedom and birth control, sparked after the Obama administration required that employers must provide contraception coverage under the federal health care overhaul.

Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

Absolutely ridiculous.
That's an invasion of people's privacy - your employer has no right to force you to disclose why you are taking a legally prescribed medication.

Will they be allowing employers to opt out of providing viagra to unmarried people, for the same reasons?

I KNOW ITS INVASION OF PRIVACY BECAUSE NO WAY THEY COULD POSSIBLY JUST BUY INSURANCE POLICIES THAT DO NOT COVER IT! THE ONLY WAY THIS IS POSSIBLE IS FOR YOUR NOSEY BOSS TO SNOOP IN YOUR MEDICAL RECORD!!!

Just more reasons why employers shouldn't be involved with health care or coverage.

And you're paying for it with a lower-than-market-rate pay wage. Your company is wasting money administering that plan for you and the rest of the employees. Better to just pay you what you're worth and let you buy the plan you want.

He'd have to pay far more for an individual Cadillac plan than a group would pay.
