The Obama administration has proposed a compromise to resolve a standoff with opponents of contraception coverage under the Affordable Heath Care Act. The measure would allow church and religious groups to exclude birth control from the insurance they provide employees. A separate insurance company would then provide birth control coverage, and insurance companies would cover the cost by paying higher fees for access to the new customers created under the new healthcare law. In a statement, the group NARAL Pro-Choice America said it is optimistic “that these new draft regulations will make near-universal contraceptive coverage a reality.”
