Gee wiz where do I start? Birth control for pure medical reasons is not the major use for the pill and as a RN you should of known that, nice try tho. Hormonal contraception "the pill" is for preventing pregnancy but yes it can be used as a treatment. Did you know that MEN invented birth control? .http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blthepill.htm Good food and nutrition are essential to women's health also, should the government supply 3 meals a day and only let women provide those meals? Listen to what you are saying... Seeing as you are having a hard time keeping focused on the thread topic my comments about birth control are directed at welfare queens and if you consider your self one then that is not my problem and if you are not one then you are worrying about nothing. My sister is an RN and makes almost 50.00hr. you are telling me you cannot make it on that?
Viagra does fix medical conditions and I think if it is prescribed by your physician then it should be covered but not as a recreational drug.
You obviously have not read many of my threads I bash deadbeat men also... an equal opportunity offender.
As for benefits from SSI I would think your husband payed into it and would be owed that survivor benefit and I do not consider that welfare for what it is worth seeing as you do not know me personally or well enough and yet you have called me a bigot, chauvinist and stupid...thank you.
Have you ever considered re-marrying? It may ease your burden.
RNs make over $40hr in my state. Oh and I believe the majority of jobs nowadays are requiring drug test. You have to pass a drug test to pay taxes to support welfare its only fair to pass a drug test to receive welfare imo.
