Try to tell a leftist that birth control shouldn’t be covered by “health insurance” because health insurance is for fixing something that’s not working, not for taking something that works fine and making it not work.
There is no rebuttal to the point of course, but it will be a lesson to you on what he considers to be “the real issue” (which varies by individual leftist) on that and other policies.
Jiggyboy, you and tax-chick are making the more profound point: contraceptives aren’t even healthcare.
“Health” means a state of wholeness. The proper exercise of the healing art is to restore a person to normalcy and wholeness by curing diseases, healing injuries, repairing damaged organs or systems, increasing the “ableness” of the disabled.
Contraception does nothing but impair or destroy healthy function.
It is anti-health and anti-care.
