Did you, by chance, click on the link and look at the address?
Here it is so you can see it is a Georgetown link.
http://benefits.georgetown.edu/health/medical/aetnappo/2012 GU Aetna PPO Plan Summary - FINAL.pdf
Do you, by any chance, understand that insurance companies often send quotes to employers, and that does not mean that those serives are actually bought? Do you also understand that the policy you keep pointing to is a PPO which has a high deductible and copays? That, even if you actually prove that this is a plan offered to Georgetown staff, that most of them would be on a different plan? And that this particular plan doesn't actually cover contraception unless the employee purchases a separate policy that covers it themselves?
Did you even read your own link, or did you just take the word of some blogger on the Internet?
Are you being intentionally obtuse? Drill down on the link I provided. If you visit, for example, this link: Medical Insurance: Office of Faculty and Staff Benefits, you get this:
Benefits 2012 » Health & Welfare
Medical Insurance
The following medical plans are available to faculty, staff and AAPs:

Employee Eligibility
You are eligible to enroll in a Georgetown University sponsored medical plan if you are:
A staff employee, including members of the Allied International Union, hired to work 30 or more hours per week;
An academic employee hired to work at least 75% time;
A fellow.
Dependent Eligility
If you are covered under a medical plan, you may also elect coverage for your spouse/LDA and your eligible dependent children. You will select from one of the following levels of coverage:
Employee only
Employee and spouse/LDA
Employee and child/ren
Family (employee, spouse/LDA and child/ren)
Do you see that list of plans? The first one on the list is the Aetna plan offered by Georgetown University that I had linked to previously...the one that includes contraceptive coverage.
I've proven my claim. Georgetown offers contraceptive coverage to its employees, but won't do the same for its students.
Hmmmmmmm
So are students employees?
You know, if Georgetown were to tell Aetna to stop paying for BC they would be accused of trying to take it away from female employees. They decided not to go down that road.
What escapes you is this......government can't mandate that they provide it. That is the issue here. I know that's hard to grasp......
