How will insurers cover the costs? Raising rates. We pay for it either through government subsidy or by higher rates.

I'm sorry if you hadnt had children yet but pregnancy is EXPENSIVE. Treating STD's is EXPENSIVE. There are also the womens issues that Sirisan noted that means less doctors bills, etc.
Free contraceptives mean lower rates because people are not getting sick, or accidentally getting pregnant.
It's like arguing that home insurers shouldnt be forced to put smoke alarms into peoples homes because it would mean rates will rise. The cost of installing smoke alarms is minimal compared to paying out money for a burnt out home.
The only reasons why people are against this is either they have been lied to and misinformed or they are ideological religous people who lie and misinform.
