The problem with this is that the insurance at Georgetown does cover birth control pills for PCOS. Ms. Fluke stated that the policy says it covers bc for PCOS. She said that her friend said the insurance company refused to cover the pills because the insurance company claimed the pills were desired for birth control rather than PCOS treatment. Fluke claimed the friend is a lesbian. Fluke claimed that the friend purchased the pills herself until she could no longer afford them and ended up with a ruptured ovarian cyst that caused the loss of an ovary. The friend may want to have children one day and her chances are now greatly reduced. Actually, PCOS patients already are at a disadvantage when it comes to having babies. Their hormones are all messed up. Statistically, even with two ovaries, PCOS patients are much less likely to carry a baby beyond the first trimester. The Pill is a treatment that helps regulate the out of whack hormones. An insurance company that denies a claim for a necessary medication had better have medical documentation to support the denial. If the lesbian friend were telling the truth, she should be suing the mess out of the insurance company. If the friend is lying, that is another matter altogether. Alas, we do not know who the friend of Ms. Fluck is, so we don’t know if she made the story up or not.
Fluke may have made up the stories of all six women.
But Rush didn't talk about whether the stories of he six women were true. People on FR, except for a few people like you who paid attention, aren't interested in whether the medical stories are true.
Rush made up all of this stuff about Fluke's personal sex life and use of contraceptives. As did people on FR. And they're still doing it. I'm reading posts about how Fluke testified about the percentage of women at Georgetown who listed sex as a preferred recreational activity. You know, evidence that they are sluts.
Now, it doesn't matter that none of that is the truth. Instead of being interested in the truth, which is what I thought conservatives did (well, until all of the "Gibson Guitars' CEO is a Republican" posts), people just want to attack the lefty blowhard Sandra Fluke and are willing to make up any slander they can to demean her.
Just as if we were a bunch of . . . liberals.
The story sounds made up, or at the very least, exaggerated and distorted. It sounds way too much like a perfect victim story to be true.
What we do know is that Fluke is no expert on PCOS or any of the topics she gossiped about. She does not know anything about birth control and PCOS.
