Here in America we so are for family values, yet insurance companies do not cover all fertility procedures.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In American fertility clinics, 75 percent of couples are requesting girls and not boys.
People with fertility problems are not alone. It is a very very common problem for couples today. I've seen statistics that are just staggering.
Many poor and low-income women cannot afford to purchase contraceptive services and supplies on their own.
It is not good not to have health insurance; that leaves the family very vulnerable.
It's long been accepted as fact that the availability of family planning services saves lives. Where women have access to these services, children and families are healthier, and society at large benefits.
If you look at the cost of providing health insurance, it actually doesn't cost more to provide a plan with contraceptive coverage than it does without.
The states are not free, under the guise of protecting maternal health or potential life, to intimidate women into continuing pregnancies.
And under Obamacare, insurance companies can no longer discriminate against women. Before, some wouldn't cover women's most basic needs, like contraception and maternity care, but would still charge us up to 50 percent more than men - for a worse plan.
I do believe that Planned Parenthood provides vital services to those in need and disagree with its funding cuts contained in the H.R. 1 package.
We have the capacity to make sure that every mother has pre-natal care. Yet, we don't do it. What is it about America? It says we don't value children and families. We are hypocrites.
