Notre Dame Student Fears Losing Birth Control Coverage Under University Health Plan
CBS News ^ | 10/10/17

The Trump administration's plan to roll back mandatory insurance coverage for birth control faces a new federal court challenge. Washington state's attorney general sued Monday to stop the new rules from taking effect. California and Massachusetts have already filed similar complaints.

Last week, the administration said it's changing the Obamacare requirement that health plans cover contraception. It wants to exempt any non-government employer with a "religious or moral objection."

Because of the Catholic Church's strict stance against contraception, Notre Dame University has fought the birth control mandate for years, reports CBS News' Adriana Diaz.

Although the university hasn't yet decided to withdraw coverage completely, some women on this campus are worried they're about to lose an important part of their health care.

"I respect my university's adherence to Catholicism but I also think that no woman should have to choose between her serious medical needs and her university's religion," said Notre Dame law student Kate Rochat.

The university health plan Rochat signed up for just last year could be in for a drastic change. The school may drop birth control coverage following the Trump administration's announcement Friday

Her “serious medical needs” could be met by a few trips to a shrink.

Notre Dame students shouldn’t be using birth control.

If they are going to ND, seems they could afford the cost of a couple of cups of coffee a week for BC.

There are some conditions where birth control pills are necessary that have nothing to do with “birth control.” In those cases I could see paying for it, but how to distinguish?

[”I respect my university’s adherence to Catholicism but I also think that no woman should have to choose between her serious medical needs and her university’s religion,”]

Since when is birth control a SERIOUS medical need? How about respecting her university’s adherence to Catholicism starting with DISCIPLINE & SELF-CONTROL.

Even if covered, shouldn’t there be deductible before insurance kicks in? You could buy a lot of pills before reaching, say, $5000.

Next, they will dig up the college student slut during the GWB administration who was angry that her insurance didn’t pay for her contraception.

There is a slim chance that Kate Rochat will grow up and become a productive member of society.

I had a girl friend named Mary.
She used to go to the church club every week.
They’d meet each other there
Hold hands
And think Pure Thoughts
There’s nothing like a Catholic Girl
With her hand in the box
When she’s on her knees

I hear you, man. I haven’t had any in so long,
I forget which arm it’s under.
