      <content type="html"><![CDATA[
        <p>A new report recommends that health-insurance plans offer women all forms of approved contraception without charging out-of-pocket fees. The report was released Tuesday by the Institute of Medicine, which advises the U.S. government on health issues. It was commissioned by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to identify gaps in the department&#8217;s list of preventive health services already covered for women.</p>

        <p>When it comes to teens having babies, it&#8217;s a matter of pay me now or pay me later. You can pay for the programs that help teens understand sex and make good decisions about it, and you can pay for the health care services that provide them with options for contraception. Or you can pay for the misfortunes that are more likely to befall the child of a teen mother: health problems, behavioral and educational issues, and a greater likelihood of criminal troubles in adolescence and young adulthood.</p>

        <p>The following commentary demonstrates the role a father plays in the life of his child.&nbsp; Mr. Donaldson may not even be aware of just how insightful his article truly is.&nbsp; CFOC provides media support to MDHR (MD Dept. of Human Resources) for its unique grant from the Federal HHS designed to connect fathers with their young kids.&nbsp; The Strong Fathers/Strong Families pilot program in Baltimore has as its goal helping fathers be more active and positive in the lives of their kids, whether or not they are living in the same household.&nbsp; This practical approach offers fathers a hands-on opportunity to learn skills and embrace their responsibilities, through seminars taught for parenting duties and job placement techniques in multi-hour sessions by MDHR and Private Specialists. </p>

<p>Let&#8217;s hope we are on the right track. </p>
