On July 19, the Institute of Medicine - an independent, nonpartisan organization of American health-care professionals - recommended that affordable birth control, as basic preventive care, be made available to millions of U.S. women without cost-sharing. The institute's recommendation now goes to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for a final decision about what services to include as fully covered preventive health care. If HHS takes this recommendation, all new health plans under the Affordable Care Act will be required to cover the full range of FDA-approved contraceptive methods without charging co-pays or other out-of- pocket fees. In addition, the recommendation also includes covering - as preventive health-care services - annual exams, enhanced DNA Pap tests, and c...
If you printed the 40 million pages, they would weigh about 200 tons. Laid end-to-end, they'd cover more than 7,000 miles, attorneys for pharmaceutical giant Bayer point out. Stacked, they'd tower two- and-a-half miles high. Any way you look at it, Bayer has handed over a lot of documents to plaintiffs as the parties prepare for multiple Yaz and Yasmin birth control trials -- and they expect to turn over up to 30 million more, the lawyers said in a motion seeking a protective order to bar more "overly burdensome discovery requests.
WASHINGTON - A half-century after the advent of the pill, the Obama administration on Monday ushered in a change in women's health care potentially as transformative: coverage of birth control as prevention, with no copays. Services ranging from breast pumps for new mothers to counseling on domestic violence were also included in the broad expansion of women's preventive care under President Obama's health-care overhaul.
WASHINGTON - Worried about birth control in light of headlines about side effects from Yaz and the patch? Women have a lot of options that are safe and effective, including some that are even more reliable. You can choose a contraceptive that's used daily, weekly, monthly, once every three months, once every three years, even once a decade.
I n January, the Obama administration hit Catholic employers with arguably the most religiously-oppressive government directive in modern American history: Provide free abortion drugs and birth control pills in your health insurance plans, in flagrant violation of your religious beliefs, or face legal punishment. This week the bishops of the Catholic Church hit back. In one of the largest legal actions to defend religious liberty in U.S. history, Catholic organizations filed a dozen lawsuits across the country claiming the Obama Health and Human Services Department rule violates the right to religious freedom set forth in the U.S. Constitution. These historic lawsuits are certain to play in the upcoming presidential election, and not to President Obama's favor. The plaintiffs include No...
WASHINGTON - Millions of women stand to gain free access to a broad menu of birth control methods, thanks to a recommendation issued Tuesday by health experts advising the government. An Institute of Medicine panel recommended that the government require health insurance companies to cover birth control for women as preventive care, without co-payments. Contraception - along with such care as diabetes tests during pregnancy and screening for the virus that causes cervical cancer - was one of eight recommended preventive services for women.
The dissemination of birth control was only one of a host of interventions into the intimate and everyday practices of ordinary Egyptians that aimed at creating reformed and modernized families and productive citizens. [...] the adoption of a population program based on contraception entailed the recognition of Egyptian women as reproductive subjects for whom using birth control was to constitute part of the duties of citizenship even as it simultaneously delineated the normative parameters within which reproductive choice could be exercised.

Q: What's the best way to save girls from becoming high school dropouts and welfare recipients? A: Provide better birth control, so they aren't trapped in single motherhood.
Church officials and birth control proponents are at odds regarding new legislation that could prevent pharmacy employees from denying the sale of contraceptives because of their religious beliefs. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., and Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., introduced the Access to Birth Control Act on Tuesday, in response to a report from the Institute of Medicine that recommended that birth control be made available without copayment for health reasons.
WASHINGTON - Birth control drugs that were heavily promoted as having fewer side effects and the ability to clear up acne and other hormonal bothers are under new scrutiny from safety regulators. Research suggesting that newer birth control formulations are more likely to cause blood clots than older drugs has prompted the Food and Drug Administration to consider new safety measures in meetings later this week. The increased risk is slight but significant because blood clots can cause heart attacks, strokes and blockages in lungs or blood vessels, which can be fatal.
