Is Hooking Up a Sport? Is the French Government Enlightened?

“Every Michigan woman deserves to be able to make decisions about her body, including when and if to start a family,” said Governor Whitmer. “Today, we celebrate a step forward by the State of Michigan to cover birth control for the 200,000 retirees and their families covered by the MPSERS non-Medicare plan. In the last year, hundreds of requests for birth control coverage were denied, preventing those who get coverage from MPSERS plans, such as a retired teacher’s daughter, from accessing the medication they needed. We need to use every tool in our toolbox to ensure women have control over their own bodies and access to reproductive health care no matter where they live or who they are. As some politicians take steps to control women’s bodies, enacting extreme laws and restrictions on abortion and medication, I will fight like hell to protect reproductive freedom.”



Oral Contraceptives Added to MPSERS Non-Medicare Healthcare Plan

Effective September 1, 2022, generic, prescription oral contraceptives were added to the Michigan Public School Employees’ Retirement System (MPSERS) Non-Medicare Master Healthcare plan. Previously, oral contraceptives were only covered under the Medicare plan. As of Thursday, September 1, members in the Non-Medicare plan will have access to this coverage as well.



The MPSERS Plan covers approximately 200,000 retired school employees and their families with a goal of providing high quality health care at an affordable price for this primarily retiree population. While most of the members are retirees and do not often require reproductive health services, the plan also covers spouses and beneficiaries who utilize the coverage more frequently.



DTMB is working with OptumRx to reach out to the nearly 600 Michiganders who were denied contraception medication in the past 12 months and notify them of the newly available coverage.

It might be surprising to you all that it is very likely that tGreenway has seen way more hook-up action that me.

The bar is extra low, Gus.
