A) The programs listed by the Sierra Club include: The National Family Planning Program: Title X, the Equity in Prescription Insurance and Contraceptive Coverage Act (EPICC), and abstinence only programs. The Title X program was established in 1970 to provide funds for clinics to provide preventative health services and referals for women. It helps 1 million women a year avoid unwanted pregnancies and has prevented numerious abortions and teen pregnancies. No new funding has been granted to the program since 2001, and funds are being denied if the states do not match funding to abstinance only programs. Yea W. EPICC is an initative working to insure....that women's health insurance providers include contraceptives in their coverage. It's covered in Federal Health plans and by 23 states with 11 more states working on it, but it's crazy to think that contraceptives are not a necessary part of health care. The costs to insurance companies and those insured would be minimal, but I guess some arm bending is needed. Abstinence only programs are crazy. No talk of contraceptives are allowed and people aren't suppossed to have sex until they are married. Uh huh.
