SIGN PETITION FOR WOMEN’S HEALTH ISSUES: Did you know the student health insurance, required by Michigan Tech, covers pregnancy related costs and abortion services, but not birth control consultations? The plan also covers part of the cost for birth control pills, but not other forms of contraception, such as the patch or IUD’s. Even some lab fees for annual exams aren’t covered under the current plan. What’s worse, having the plan excludes students from being eligible for state services such as Medicaid. Tell Michigan Tech that women’s health issues matter by signing this petition: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/526/835/708/student-health-insurance-should-cover-womens-preventative-health-care/
