Did you know that viagra is covered by insurance, but birth control isn't? I just don't understand why that is. Now we have lots of guys with hardons all day for cheap, but we women can't afford our birth control to keep from having babies and to keep our cycle normal.

Some policies do cover birth control. but you are right that is dumb that an old foggie who can't get it up is covered by insurance, shouldn't viagra be considered cosmetic, and wouldn't be covered?

Many insurance companies do in fact cover birth control. It just depends on the insurance you have. Otherwise there are low-cost options such as getting it from Planned Parenthood whose charges are based on a sliding scale according to your income.

Maybe your insurance doesn't cover it, but my fiance's does. She has no copay for birth control. The lower your insurance premium costs, the more you have to pay out of pocket.

I just got my depo shot today and it was covered. I live in NYS and have community blue threw my employer.
Do you have a planned parent hood near you? they offer free birth control to women who cant afford it.

erectile dysfunction is a medical condition. Not wanting to get pregnant is not. Babies are not diseases, so you cannot call BCP preventive medicine.

As far as I know it is.... I got it with mine... but if you need it, you can go to any planned parenthood office and get it for low-no cost!
