If female contraception is provided free under the “preventive care” portion of Obamacare, shouldn’t they also be paying for condoms for men?”””

I think there is more to this problem than we are seeing:

Since Obama wants all children up to the age of 26 to be covered by their parent’s health insurance, which comes from the employer——isn’t this ‘demand for contraception’ covering females as young as 11 or 12 with birth control pills???

IF there are 50 million females in the USA of child bearing age & the cost of the pills is about $25 per month or $300 a year, this makes the cost of the pills alone $15 BILLION annually. $15 BILLION !!!! Why should employers underwirte social behavior???

That is the cost of the pills—not the PREMIUM to cover such costs.

This isn’t a gamble on the part of the insurance companies—such as whether you will braak your arm or something....it is a GIVEN.

These women ovulate every month. The pills are taken all year long.

I would never have even dreamed of asking any of my employers to pay for my birth control pills.

The attitude of entitlement which we have bred into Americans under the age of 40 is just astounding!!!!

IF you cannot afford to buy your own birth control pills every month——keep your legs together!!!

Exactly. For some reason, sex seems to be the only self-indulgence it is taboo (from the perspective of the left) to suggest is wise to limit.
