15. Didn't I read that the corporations don't have to pay for this coverage?

I am sure that I read somewhere last year that the White House had worked out a deal in which the health insurance companies agreed to pick up the cost of contraceptives because it would lower their payouts for the health problems resulting from pregnancy. If that is true, then these companies don't even have the case they keep saying they have. They are not being asked to GIVE this coverage to their employees, but only to ALLOW others to give it to their employees. Doesn't this sound right?
