Healthcare Triage: The New Rules on Contraceptive Coverage

In a new rule about coverage of contraception, the Trump administration argues that birth control is bad for your health. But it’s a claim that doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. That’s the topic of this week’s Healthcare Triage.

This episode was adapted from a column I wrote for the Upshot. Links to further reading and sources can be found there.

Also – I’ve got a book coming out November 7. It’s called The Bad Food Bible: How and Why to Eat Sinfully. Preorder a copy now!!
