White House Acts to Roll Back Birth-Control Mandate for Religious Employers
The effort follows through on the president’s pledge to roll back a requirement that many religious employers include contraception coverage in health insurance.
"Last
week, Senator Patty Murray of Washington and 13 other Democratic
senators warned Mick Mulvaney, the White House budget director, to cease
efforts that could “undermine access to affordable preventive services,
including contraception, for women.”
“Women
saved more than $1.4 billion in out-of-pocket costs for birth control
in 2013 alone,” the senators said Thursday in a letter to Mr. Mulvaney.
“Access to affordable preventive services, including contraception, is a
critical part of women’s health care.”"
