Why should women be given free contraceptives, anyway? Is it discriminatory that men don’t get free condoms? And why not free clothes, dishes, cellphones, and everything else? This is just plain old socialism in disguise.

When government mandates any item to be included or be passed out free in a private insurance contract, it is overstepping it’s Constitutional authority. Common sense means an added feature adds costs and the cost is paid by the insured or others in the insurance pool, especially if some item is deemed free.

Also, insurance historically has been regulated at the state, not federal level. State regulation requires that rates for a given risk be uniform, considering the individual risk factors and considering the insured’s loss history. State regulation is also mostly to guard on the insurance co. from overstepping what is fair under contract law and that disputed payments can be fairly reviewed. Obama is going against history, common sense and the Constitution.

Cell phones are free if you are below 125% of poverty line, or on food stamps. Betcha didn't know that huh?:)
