Ohio school cuts insurance, birth control coverage

By LISA CORNWELL Associated PressCINCINNATI (AP) -- A Catholic university in eastern Ohio says it will drop student health insurance partly because of a new federal health care rule requiring religious-affiliated institutions' insurance plans to provide contraception coverage.
An official with Franciscan University of Steubenville said Wednesday another reason for the decision is higher costs resulting from other provisions of the federal health care overhaul.
The school's vice president for advancement says the 2,500-student university can't include coverage of contraception services and products opposed by the Catholic Church.
Catholic officials and religious-affiliated institutions around the country continue to challenge the contraception coverage mandate in court.
The university says it will continue its employee insurance plan while it waits for the outcome of challenges to the federal rule, which begins August 2013.
