Voice and Exit in
Health Care Policy
What can we learn from the recent controversy
over mandated birth control coverage?

By M. Todd Henderson




"The big question is whether birth control should be paid for via health insurance or some other means. Insurance seems like an odd fit for a small, predictable recurring expense like birth control. Insurance is usually thought of as a risk-sharing mechanism for unforeseeable expenses. I insure my car against loss, but not the costs I incur to refill it with fuel each week."
