If you can get a mani- pedi you csn buy your own birth control.
If you eat fast food twice a month you can buy your own birth control.

I do pay for my own dentist, Last week I had an appointment to get my teeth cleaned and I had to my upper partial, partial repaired because it had broken, I was in the commissary at the cash register, trying to pay for my grocieries when I suddenly heard a noise in my ear coming from my mouth, right in front of the cashier.

You can imagine how embarrassed I wasm but I couldn't leave it in my mouth in or I might would have chocked. She handed me a paper towel so I could take it out and wrap it and put it in my pocket.

My dentist bill for cleaning and repairing was $158 and I got a toothbrush and floss. With insurance the price would have probably more.

It is a giant leap from legalizing the pill to forcing the taxpayers to pay for it.

[Kaslin]

what you mean by etc. Do you include gas for your vehicle? No one is buying me gas, and I don’t drink or smoke.

Cute.

Planned Parenthood gets tax dollars. Why don’t THEY pay for birth control?

Trump should just direct the FDA to move oral contraceptives to OTC schedule.

I’m saying if it’s important to you you will find the money. BTW....my post is not directed to you personally.

Not to mention Viagra and Cialis.

[Impy]

Damn right.

[trebb]

If you hang out at bars/clubs to hook up, you can afford your own birth control.

Maybe it was once, but now, it goes without saying that anything the left defines as a "right" must also be provided at no cost to its base.

Seconded.

She handed me a paper towel so I could take it out and wrap it and put it in my pocket...goes under the heading of "thank goodness for the kindness of strangers", I guess....

Dental care really is a serious concern for sure - it affects everyone because everyone at least starts out with a bunch of teeth. Just routine daily care and annual checkups can add up to a thousand dollars or so for the average family, and heedlessness like letting care go unattended or accidents like biting down on a piece of hard candy the wrong way can add thousands more to the dental bill. It's surprising and ironic to me that politicians haven't discovered the dental field for the next big objective of government takeover and guarantee for everyone, and instead keep going after the birth-control crowd. Why stop with single young adult females when you could be pandering to the whole population including "the children"?.......
