In regard to your post about Santorumw (the MSNDC article), yadda yadda, with the story of someone unable to afford a drug for a sick child ...
I get it. Prescription drugs are expensive...
How is the birth control mandate going to lower the cost of anything?
BTW - While everyone pays highere premiums to cover the costs of birth control, there won’t be any less unwanted pregnancies, births, as a result of this mandate. I guarantee you that.
The birth control isn’t even a health issue, but only a way for women who don’t want to get pregnant, after enjoying (or not) lovemaking.
Healthcare insurance SHOULD NOT pay for ANY contraceptive item. Any woman can buy the stuff in a pharmacy, and the pills are not that expensive. A set of contraceptive pills cost between $10 (the price of two Big Mac) and maximum $50$ a month, depending on the brand.
