There is only one gender specific preventative procedure required for by Obamacare. Now that we are paying "equal premiums for the same coverage," why are men not getting equal coverage?

I get the need for all the pregnancy ones, they're really important, especially the educational stuff.

I also get the gender-specific cancer screens.

I just can't understand why there are no equivalents for men. It's insane.

What am I missing?

I don't see any prostate screening of any sort for men.

And how would ACA treat breast cancer screenings for men. Must plans cover that? There was that item a week back of a man not being able to get a mammogram.

There's a lot of non-pregnancy related women's screenings covered for women of all ages. Do men not need STD screenings, tobacco use, "well-man" visits?

I am not against having everyone help pay for everything, but it depends on the definitions of everyone and everything.

Title should read: "There is only one gender specific preventative procedure required for men by Obamacare..."
