Thanks to the health care law, new insurance plans are required to cover birth control and other women's preventive health services with no co-payments or deductibles at the start of their next plan year. As more health plans come under the law's reach, more and more women will be able to keep their wallets closed when they pick up their birth control.

This new provision guarantees that by the end of 2012, 47 million women will have their birth control covered with no co-pay. And with studies showing that over fifty percent of women have skipped or delayed preventive care due to its cost, these benefits are a significant step forward for women's health.
