Supreme Court allows bosses to deny birth control coverage for their employees

Statement by Julie Rabinovitz, President + CEO of Essential Access Health

“Today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision is a devastating blow to women across the nation who have benefited from the Affordable Care Act’s birth control mandate.

 “Women rely on birth control to achieve optimal health outcomes and their educational and career goals. Access to contraception allows women to significantly increase their earning power and has narrowed the pay gap by as much as 30 percent over the past three decades.
