> # L.A. Times: You voted against coverage of birth control, \[against\] forcing health insurance companies to cover birth control in the past. Is that, is that still your position? John McCain: I'll look at my voting record on it, but ... I don't recall the vote. L.A.Times: \[Your campaign advisor's\] statement was that it was unfair that health insurance companies \[are forced by the government to\] cover Viagra but not birth control. Do you have an opinion on that? John McCain: I don't know enough about it ... I hadn't thought about it much.
