That "fact" was debunked back in '08 after it was brought up during the election season. IIRC the major insurance companies (BCBS, Aetna) have never covered Viagra or ED medications and the ones that did cover it when it was originally introduced ended up dropping it because it ended up being too expensive*. That being said, it's my understanding that birth control is pretty much covered by all insurance companies these days.

As recently as the 1990s, many health insurance plans didn't even cover birth control. Protests, court cases, and new state laws led to dramatic changes. Today, almost all plans cover prescription contraceptives - with varying copays. Medicaid, the health care program for low-income people, also covers contraceptives.

*Side note- I'm sure there are some fat cats who had their Viagara covered by their awesome insurance but generally speaking the 99 percenters insurance never covered it.
