WASHINGTON fifty years after the pill other birth control can be revolution on the horizon: free contraception for women in the United States, thanks to the new health care law.
Could there a shift to more reliable - and expensive - start forms of birth control, gain acceptance in other developed countries.
But first look for a fight over social customs.
A panel overhaul needs should be covered by experts who shall advise the Government in November to begin when you consider what kind of preventive care for women without costs for patients under President Barack Obama's.
Senator Barbara Mikulski, D-MD., author of women's health amendment, says the clear intention was to include family planning.
But is birth control preventive medicine?
Contradictory answers frame what could be the next clash on moral values and a health law passed restricting the use of public funding for abortions after a difficult compromise.
For many medical and public health experts, there is no debate.
"It is clear and irrefutable evidence that family planning saves lives and improves the health," said obstetrician gynecologist Dr. David Grimes, international family planning expert, teaches medicine at the University of North Carolina. "Contraception rivals immunization in US dollars for every dollar invested stored."Spacing out allows optimal pregnancies and optimal child-rearing children."Contraception is a prototype of preventive medicine."
But U.S. Catholic Bishops say pregnancy a healthy condition, not a disease ist.In comments filed with the Department of health and human services say the bishops each request to oppose contraceptives or sterilisation as preventative maintenance cover.
"We don't see it, medical care, but a lifestyle choice to be", said John Haas, President of the National Catholic Bioethics Center, a Philadelphia think tank, whose work Church teachings reflected. "We think there are other ways to avoid that children by the use of chemicals that are paid by the health insurance companies."
Have the most other religious conservatives remained from the debate, although that could change.Some say you are concerned about each request, containing the pill. the food and Drug Administration classified it as birth control;Some religious conservatives see it as a drug, the abortion.
Jeanne Monahan, a health policy experts at the conservative family Research Council, said your group would oppose any mandate that certain exemption for moral and religious reasons fehlt.Sie said "great suspicion" is a big abortion leads provider, planned parenthood, the push for free birth control.
Only in the 1990s cover not many health insurance plans even birth control.Protests, lawsuits, and new state laws brought dramatic changes.Today, almost all plans cover now prescription contraceptives.So does Medicaid, the health care program for low-income persons.
The use of birth control is "almost universal" in the United States, a Government that reports this summer by the National Center for Health Statistics.Fast were 93 million prescriptions for contraceptives in 2009, according to IMS health, a market analysis firm avoided.The pill generic versions are available at Wal-Mart stores, such as for $9 per month available.
Yet, half of all pregnancies are unplanned, and many occur among women says Government with some form of Empfängnisverhütung.Die birth control method, but "inconsistent or incorrect use,", the problem is rarely as forgetting to take a pill.
Would advocates say, start free birth control to resolve the problem.
"We can see where birth control for no cost is available, and what we see other countries lower pregnancy rates, are lower abortion rates and lower teen pregnancy," said Cecile Richards, President of planned parenthood.
It would remove a cost barrier that may be keeping away birth control women of more reliable long-acting and also affects those who do not well on low-cost generic drugs.
A large study that is taking place now in St. Louis offers a glimpse of how things could change.
The contraceptive CHOICE project provides free birth control to more than 10,000 women, tracking the decisions taken and the results to the Verfügung.Etwa selected 70 percent such as IUDs (intrauterine devices) or implants long-acting contraceptives, which are reversible and have a much lower error rate than pills or Kondome.Der U.S. women with such methods remains low; the reason seems part to higher costs in advance.
"" Is the shift we need to see a shift from methods such as the pill and the most effective methods such as implants and IUDs, condoms in the U.S.,"said Dr. Jeffrey Peipert, a senior researcher of the study.""And we will see this change only if someone is willing to pay."
How Obama management apply the law that remains abzuwarten.Es could insurance plans wide discretion to meet the coverage request allow. A Panel of medicine called Institute by holding its first meeting November 16, work on recommendations to HHS beginnen.Die Department has to the next, to make his decision.
