Did Indiana miss a 7 million dollar oppurtunity? This is the popular question that many health professionals are asking around the state. Indiana watched and looked at the statistics of 20 other states that applied a healthcare law to their state. All 20 of those states seemed to profit from this healthcare law. The law is that for the poorer wome, especially those of on medicare, should be taking birth control or atleast have the option. This would lower birth defects and the birth rate overall, leading to less babies going to adoption agencies. Indiana noticed after 5 months that no profit was being made after the law was passed, so we eventually realized that this was because the women were not being asked whether or not they wanted it. Since it was a law, many agencies thought that the question would have to just appear automtically on personal fill-out sheets, yet the agencies did not know they had to ask it themselves.
I feel as if this article is very important to know about, especially since it may impact the society in which i live in. I think that the idea of providing the pill to the women is a brilliant plan! Providing it to the less fortunate who still have the right to have sexual relations will definitley save our state a good ammount of money. The defected birth rate would go down derastically and also the adoption agencies would not be over-whelmed with so many children at once. One of the biggest things that would decrease would be the abortion rate! Overall, this law if very beneficial and the medicare agencies need to quickly pertain the question as part of a question and answer session between the individual and the agencies.
