And that doesn't change the fact some people are poor, even if they have a job. We can cut everyone off and wish really hard that they all get good educations and good paying skilled jobs, but I stopped confusing Disney or Hallmark movies with reality years ago. The reality is that there will always be poor people and shunning them is just cutting off your nose to spite your face. But I don't live in the Bioshock universe, so I see more government options than two extremes. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

hockeybub89 posted...You're right. Some people will just need to choose between the pill and their electric bill this month. So only people with money should be able to afford better options for pregnancy prevention? Republicans should be falling over themselves doing everything they can to stop unwanted babies and more poverty, but I guess moral grandstanding is more important to them than the fiscal responsibility they talk about. I'm trying to appeal to greedy self-interest here and you're still getting your nuts in a twist.

BC should be widely covered on insurance plans. I don't see a ton of employer-sponsored plans dropping this just because this mandate was reversed, however it was a stupid decision to reverse it.
And on the conversation of "dick pills," very rarely are prescriptions for ED actually covered by a prescription plan. That's not medical necessity. BC typically falls under preventive care, so of course it's typically covered. As it should be, not to mention it has other medical uses --- The user formally known as freakofnature30 ROCK FLAAAAG AND EAAAAAAAAAGLLLLLLLE ... Copied to Clipboard!

Keep in mind, the law did not use tax payer money to pay for birth control. It just made insurance policies provided by work places pay for birth control. Do I have to keep saying this? Most policies do not cover ED drugs. The ones they do will cover about four pills per month of only one specific brand (since no generic is available) if a doctor deems it medically necessary, and you still pay a copay. And you can get tablet birth control for like $10 a month. Looking at Wal-mart's web site, for example, you can get nine different generics at $9 for 28 days, and another three at $9 for 30 days or $24 dollars for 90 days. If you can already afford insurance, that's really not a big deal. The issue is more for people who need more expensive birth control, or who would decide to skip it and then have sex anyway just to save a few bucks, leading to a drain on the public when they have to go on welfare programs to support their children. --- "That is why war is so tragic.

Most policies do not cover ED drugs. I'm sorry, I should have specified. The insurance policy provided to all Congress members covers Viagra. You know, the one actually paid with tax payer money?

I actually don't have to much of an issue with the religious liberty argument of why a certain company might not want to pay for a specific form of healthcare in their insurance policy. I have no idea why birth control is the hill they choose to fight this on though. Especially when something like hormonal birth control can be used for things other than premarital sex.

Members of Congress are not provided with an insurance plan. They are required to purchase a marketplace plan with a 72% federal subsidy for gold-tier plans only. However, their own contribution can be with pre-tax payroll dollars. This also means that there is no single plan that is common across members of Congress. And very, VERY few plans cover Viagra anymore now that Caremark exclusively covers Cialis. --- "That is why war is so tragic.

Or do they get punished due to backwards religious views on sex? At the end of the day it doesn't really matter how much or little an individual may pay for BC because it really comes down to what your principles are. Birth control is a preventative medication that has functions beyond stopping pregnancy. There is no practical reason to turn it into a logistical nightmare just to make sure we pander to religious business owners and don't accidentally promote sex in society. Leave that shit in a backwards, outdated society, like the Middle East. I don't want to hear any fucking shit about how I'm the one being unrealistic.
