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

Sounds like a reason to boycott them to me. Change what you have to until your insurance isn’t discriminating against people, especially women.

This already went to the Supreme Court. I don’t see it changing. Thank Hobby Lobby.
