I'm hearing arguments that the "free" birth control mandate will "pay for itself" because birth control is cheaper than abortion or birth, at least as far as medical expenses are concerned.
But do private health plan administrators believe this? If they thought they could "save money" by dispensing birth control at no charge, wouldn't they already be doing this?
To actually save money, this mandate would have to prevent a substantial numbers of births or abortions that would have occurred otherwise. Do you think that will happen?
Of course, I also expect to see
arguments that we need to have free
treatments for infertility.
