Getting teens to sign up for the Affordable Care Act and learn how to obtain contraceptives through Obamacare, was the focus of an event hosted by the D.C. Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy at the Church of Scientology’s National Affairs Office in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, a gathering that featured officials from the Health and Human Services Department and the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) .
Wilma Robinson, deputy director of the HHS Office of Adolescent Health, said she was attending to explain “the impact of the Affordable Care Act on adolescents,” which she defined as girls and boys ages 10 to 19.
Athena Cross, Medicaid director of health care reform implementation at the PPFA, told attendees that she was glad the Affordable Care Act’s preventive health care mandate for women includes Intrauterine Devices (IUDs), including hormonal IUDs that can last up to 5 years.
