Employer/COBRA Insurance Insurance doesn’t cover contraceptives because they said they’re a Christian-based organization

i use birth control to stop my periods and when i called my insurance to check for coverage this morning they said they don’t cover contraceptives for religious reasons

the estimate from my provider is around $2000 without insurance so just double-checking about alternative routes i can take given that information

insurance is from virginia mason hospital & they switched to bcbsil from first choice this year if that’s relevant

25 in wa with a $25 wage

Your company is probably owned by observant Catholics. Non Catholic Christians are mostly ok with contraceptives.

Not anymore. Read up on your Project 2025.

Evangelicals are the minority. Don’t let them try to convince everyone most Americans agree with their bullshit because we don’t.

There should be no “religious exemptions” or “moral exemptions” when it comes to healthcare.

The U.S. Supreme Court does not agree. https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/573/682/

White Christian Nationalists are having their day. ☹️

The Supreme Court doesn’t change the statistics. They are the minority. They want people to think they’re the majority and they are not.

No one’s disputing them taking over the country. But they are much smaller in numbers then they’d lead you to believe with their policies.
