Summary if the link doesn't work for you: There are state laws in California, Maryland, Vermont, and Illinois to back-stop the PPACA requirement that health insurance plans cover contraception, and similar bills may be introduced in New York, Minnesota, Colorado, and Massachusetts. In 28 states, insurance companies have to include coverage of contraception in policies, but not all of the statutes require contraceptives to be available to insured women *without copayments.*

Definitely. States and local politics have a huge role in how federal policy actually gets implemented.

I'm liking this. I'm liking this a lot. I'm seeing this as a thing to be leveraged like crazy, in fact.
