I would’ve assumed the insurance companies would weigh the cost of birth control vs. the costs associated with pregnancy and childbirth and that they’d prefer the cheaper option, but I’m not sure how exactly medical insurance works in the U.S so maybe I just have an idealistic view!

I was surprised there were no incentives from my pet insurance for me getting my dogs spayed, but they were quite clear that they didn’t cover any costs relating to having puppies and I would hope medical insurance would cover pregnancy and childbirth…
