The Health Care Law.

And I suppose you are completely against abortion at all stages, as well as financial assistance for children living in poverty.....how about legal assistance to a women to prove rape or custody?

Why not just allow an insurance company pay for birth control? Do you even have a clue at the small cost you are talking about vs the huge expenses that occur for not easing access to birth control? Your personal convictions whether it be for moral reasons or greed are tiny when compared to the issue. Again it only highlights the stupidity of the gop's position in this situation.

That argument could be applied to just about anything in life...Why shouldn't auto insurance be forced to pay for my new brakeshoes?...Stopping a 3 ton truck in heavy traffic, in the rain, could cause thousands of dollars worth of damage.

The lower middle income bracket do not qualify for any medical assistance. It is these who you are saying should pay the extra $50 a month for birth control, people most unable to pay the extra cost. Why argue over it? Where is your logic? Do you really believe an insurance company is going to dramatically increase premiums if they pay for birth control vs the costs they will have to pay for extra pregnancies? Which is the greater expense?

The ins and outs of how insurance companies make money would boggle your mind. 50% of the people they insure do not get pregnant for starters. They list the procedures they pay for but most don't bother to read that until they need it done. Requiring an employer to provide healthcare to all people is in the best interest of insurance companies. Most are never going to use it at 30 or less unless they have kids.

Remember insurance is not a warranty for your health.

We are seeing more children being born into poverty. My point is not about damage control, as you mention, but about the cost of basic living essentials for children of unplanned pregnancy.

Thank god chickens don't talk about politics!

Do you realize how many pages of handwringing over moulting there is?

How is it not damage control, if it's birth control?

Povertry seems to be an end result and desire of this current administration....Just think of the permanent voting base recieving free foodstamps and healthcare.

For Chickened, the government contractor:

Are you enjoying your tax payer funded lifestyle? Perhaps you should provide a detailed explanation of your role, as well as your bodily fluids for testing and your medical records to ensure our taxes should be given to you

I don't understand why you think that birth control should be a separate part of insurance coverage. No one is advocating paying for a woman's insurance premiums. They are just saying insurance coverage needs to include birth control. Why would you think that means you would pay for it? Twenty-seven states already require insurance coverage for birth control. The argument that only 50% of the population can pregnant is beside the point. Women's reproductive systems are not separate from the rest of their bodies. The hormones that chemical birth control influences to not just work on a woman's ovaries, and uterus. They bathe the entire body in hormone, the cause all kinds of other effects; some of which birth control pills also affect. Other prescription birth control includes IUDs, Norplant implants, diaphrams, and sterilization.

Government employees who are filling an essential role should be given a wage and/or benefits that will comfortably sustain them. Government employees should not be made wealthy by living off the taxpayers.

Again I am not against insurance paying for BC!!! I just want it seperate as maybe a choice ( you know women and the choice thing) for women to elect that coverage at thier expense... not someone elses. Is that unreasonable? Men should be responsible also, If I was a single male tom catting around I would get fixed on my own dime just for the simple reason of child support... but then I have something to lose also.

I totally agree with chickend! Insurance should offer an elective option for coverage of womens issues, like birth control and pregnancy, etc. And me3n should have top pay for elective coverage of vasectomies, testicular and prostate cancer, performance "issues", STD prevention and treatment, etc.(Oh and testosterone replacement thearapy - do you realize that most men over age 50 have low testosterone and need a prescription supplement? I don't think women should have to foot that bill, only 50% of the population would be affected by that - That is THEIR problem. Pay up, boys!

By the way, you do realize that almost all women use birth control pills or IUDs, etc to put off or avoid pregnancy at some point during her lifetime - its preventative care, like vaccinations and check ups. Even married women. Most men are too scared or stubborn to get vasectomies, and a vasectomy is not an option for young couples wanting children later in life.

Chickened loves his goverment inflated contracts, he has mentioned it several times - but it never stops him from being the pot calling the kettle black.
