OREGON LEGISLATURE 12-month birth control bill advances out of Oregon Senate panel Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted May. 27, 2015 at 6:22 PM By The Associated Press Posted May. 27, 2015 at 6:22 PM » Social News SALEM — An Oregon Senate committee has advanced legislation requiring private insurers to cover up to 12 months of birth control at a time. Currently, women can access a 30- or 90-day supply of contraception. Under the bill, private insurers would have to cover up to 12 months of contraception without requiring women to make multiple trips to the pharmacy. Advocates say dispensing a full year of birth control can decrease the number of unintended pregnancies while ensuring effective use of the prescription.

The Senate Committee on Health Care passed the measure unanimously Wednesday. It heads to the Senate. ___ By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted May. 27, 2015 at 6:22 PM » Comment or view comments Reader Reaction » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
