Has a reason been stated for classifying birth control as a health measure?

...nothing is free...somebody is paying for it...

Only a Democrat or a "professional" journalist can follow that line of thought [sic]

[colorado tanker]

FReeped. Up to 75%.

I have $1,000 deductible on my auto insurance, and it doesn't cover, oil changes, gas fill ups, tires, battery, wipers etc.

I'm a Catholic, why doesn't the Church's health insurance cover my oil change and my $1,000 deductible?

Makes as much sense as covering some body's abortion pill or condom or IUD or ...

In the 1960’s women didn't even have coverage for pregnancy or birth. They made financial package deals with their doctors instead.

If Contraceptives are going to be free for women I want free Viagra.

I want to say no but state governments have already been telling insurance companies what they must cover, what the co-pays must be, etc. for a long time now.

All we are doing now is switching from the state goverment regulating insurance companies to the Federal government regulating insurance companies (which is the real issue we should be fighting).

But it’s not like we’ve had a free market in the insurance business for several decades.

This is a wedge issue meant distract people from the real issue ... total federal control of yet another industry (vs. State control that was already bad enough).

I am getting very weary of those who want everything for nothing and expect others (me) to pay for it all. It is like having 10 college kids running amok with Daddy’s credit card....and I’m the Daddy! I sure don’t get enough Father’s Day cards from all my government-mandated mooching dependents. Envy is a bad thing. When they reduce me to being pennyless, what will they be envious of then? This class warfare, dependent, nanny-state governance HAS to stop!

Health Insurance Companies are “for profit” enterprises. They don’t give anything for free. They just spread the cost across everyone else.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

No company should be required to give anybody free anything.

Insurance companies should offer that benefit in their packages. They should also be allowed to charge extra for it.

I'd sooner be inconsistently right than consistently wrong.
