Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ): I don’t need maternity care, and so requiring that to be in my insurance policy is something that I don’t need and will make the policy more expensive.

Think Progress » Kyl Asserts ‘I Don’t Need Maternity Care’ In My Health Policy; Stabenow Shoots Back ‘Your Mom Probably Did’

Even men with health insurance policies often have dependent wives or daughters who might at some point need this service. And the specificity is due to the fact that many insurance companies don’t cover it…or claim to cover it, but when it comes time, they suddenly have a million loopholes they jump through not to cover it. Lack of proper prenatal care is one of the leading causes of the high infant mortality rate we have in America. Can I start shouting now about how Jon Kyl wants to kill all the babies?
