Th affordable care act ensures that insurers must cover birth control for women at 100% with no out of pocket cost. This is gender biased. We believe that both female birth control and male birth control, such as vasectomies, should be covered at 100% by insurance with no out of pocket cost.
Not only are vasectomies very effective (99.85%), they are also permanent and do not require any additional followup or expense once the procedure has been complete and determined to be effective.
Vasectomy is a very effective (99.85%) birth control method. Only 1 to 2 women out of 1,000 will have an unplanned pregnancy in the first year after their partners have had a vasectomy. (WebMD)
