"The National Women’s Law Center (NWLC) today welcomed the recommendations of a non-partisan, independent panel of scientific and medical experts that contraception, yearly well-woman visits, support for breast feeding, counseling for sexually transmitted infections, and screening and counseling for domestic violence, among others, are essential women’s preventive health services and therefore health insurers should be required to cover them at no cost to women.

The Affordable Care Act requires all new health insurance plans to cover a list of preventive health services, as identified by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and provide these services with no out-of-pocket expenses for the woman. HHS will determine the screenings and services for women to be covered and provided with no cost-sharing following the recommendations by the panel of experts convened by the Institute of Medicine (IOM).

“The National Women’s Law Center applauds the Institute of Medicine for identifying that contraception is essential preventive health care for women and should be covered by insurance with no out-of-pocket costs to women,” said NWLC Co-President Marcia D. Greenberger. "

You'd think that Kim would welcome any attention she can get these days. I think the SNL skits are funnier than the "Wild and Crazy Guys" skits of Aykroyd and Martin.

nhboy is back, with the same old crap.

Lets take a look at what this organization says for itself.

Naw, they aren't ultra-leftist group, with all sorts of leftist positions on all sorts of issues outside women's healthcare, that they push.

Great, we have to have more people pay for other people to get someone else to do for them, what everyone else does for themselves. Yea, that's a way to make a productive society. Keep growing the takers and shrinking the providers, how can we expect anyone to actually be responsible for themselves?
