A few weeks later, Local 873 of the Machinists Union overwhelmingly voted to support a Wisconsin bill that would require insurers to cover the pill and other FDA-approved prescription contraceptives. Sue James, a mother of two from Milton, Wisconsin also supports the bill. After the birth of her second child, Sue spent the next ten years taking the pill before having a tubal ligation. When she was in her late forties, her doctor put her back on the pill to help with hormonal symptoms. Over the years I've paid thousands of dollars out of my pocket for birth control and thats just not fair.
Women have a right to equal health coverage.
Since 1998, fourteen states have passed contraceptive coverage equity laws.
