Subject: [Vision2020] Hobby Lobby co-pay free birth control options

 

The comments about Hobby Lobby are yet again all over the map.   Getting
back to basics to hopefully avoid comments like Gary's '42 condoms at
Walmart cost about $18', here is the list of 16 of 20 FDA approved birth
control options that are available c0-pay free to Hobby Lobby employees:

1.	Male condoms
2.	Female condoms
3.	Diaphragms with spermicide
4.	Sponges with spermicide
5.	Cervical caps with spermicide
6.	Spermicide alone
7.	Birth-control pills with estrogen and progestin ("Combined Pill)
8.	Birth-control pills with progestin alone ("The Mini Pill)
9.	Birth control pills (extended/continuous use)
10.	Contraceptive patches
11.	Contraceptive rings
12.	Progestin injections
13.	Implantable rods
14.	Vasectomies
15.	Female sterilization surgeries
16.	Female sterilization implants



The 4 remaining FDA approved options of which Hobby Lobby objected are:

1.	Plan B emergency contraception
2.	Ella  emergency contraception
3.	Copper IUD
4.	IUD with progestin



While I don't agree with SCOTUS decision, I can certainly see both sides to
this case and ultimately I'm convinced that coverage for FDA approved birth
control will be provided through some other means that will absolve
(according to SCOTUS) objecting employers.
