The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced new guidelines in Washington Monday requiring health insurance plans beginning on or after August 1, 2012 to cover several women's preventive services, including birth control and voluntary sterilization.

According to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius the decision is a part of the Affordable Care Act's move to stop problems before they start. "These historic guidelines are based on science and existing literature and will help ensure women get the preventive health benefits they need," she said in a news release.

When government is a self-justifying entity, existing only for the benefit of its employees, every citizen is a “problem” who ought to be “prevented.”

HHS announces free birth control for women

Free....

That's why our economy is in the tank. To a NORMAL person who actually works for their livelihood, nothing is EVER free!

Although the new women’s preventive services will be free of any additional charge to patients, somebody will have to pay. The cost will be spread among other people with health insurance, resulting in slightly higher premiums.

UNQUOTE

Y’all don’t mind, do you, to pay slightly higher premiums?

These people make me ill.

Aspirin tablets, when held between the knees, are wonderfully effective birth control!

Wouldn’t it be funny if this move causes the “debt ceiling deal” to be voted down by the House!

That’s really something to think about.

Are we encouraging whores with such as policy?

Do these policies encourage promiscuity?

And, since this has to do with “health” policy, are we actually encouraging or enabling the spread of VD? We are wanting to stop the conception of babies, but, in so doing, will we end up with more VD as a result?

If we are building “health” policies around assuming that all kinds of sex activity takes place, and want to stop unwanted pregnancy, are we actually enabling the spread of more VD? It’s a question worth asking, since they are supposedly all about “public health” with this discussion.

Its reassuring to know that money still grows on trees in Washington.

Liberals are insane.

That’s why insurance premiums go up, mandates for routine care that people should pay for out of their own pocket.

Eventually the people who pay are the ones who will be rationed out.

Greater use of hormone-based contraceptives correlates with increases in sexually-transmitted disease. This has not, of course, stopped our “science-based” “health” bureaucracy from pushing hormonal contraceptives on women and girls at ever-younger ages.

Btw, it’s interesting that all the invective on the thread is directed at women, when every act of conception has to involve a male as well. And even Zero himself, Death-Eater in Chief, is male, at least biologically.

Just wait till they realize that conservative Christian women are having babies. Then they will make birth control mandatory for “over-represented groups.” Why do you think the baby Moses was out in those bull rushes?

That is only because the "evil wimmin" tempted him.

Every guy since Adam has been using that one.

Kind of like the “gay” community and AIDS...
I’ll never forgat that when AIDS was rampant, the health departments wanted to close gay “bath houses” to contain the spread and all he** broke loose from gay “advocates”...
