Not really. Mandating that every policy contain contraceptive coverage means that every policy will contain that coverage and every policy will reflect the cost of that coverage. While that might be great for those who use contraceptives, but those who don't use them will be forced to carry a policy that does. Carrying such unwanted and unnecessary coverage only increase the cost of health insurance.Good.
I can guarantee you that your life will not be afflicted in any shape or form.
How many poor people do you know, that can afford insurance, but not contraceptives?
The reasoning that this benefits poor people, just doesn't flow.
As far as I know (though you can never be certain with the clowns in DC), no one is trying to ban the pill. But there are a group of uninformed knee-jerking ignoramuses who think that birth control should not be covered by insurance. Completely retarded and insane to anyone who has the ability to think, IMO.

There's nothing wrong with mandating Medical Insurance Companies to pay for contraception
Hey everyone at DP, did you know that birth control helps regulate monthly periods and reduces it's many, many, many side effects? Anyone who'll deny this to a woman is a big fat ignoramus.

I don't think that people are saying that birth control shouldn't be offered, it's that it shouldn't be mandated as part of a policy. I have no problems with an insurance company offering birth control coverage, I just don't think the govt should be in the business of telling them they have to.

Sorry, I only copied it 10 times. I thought that would make a strong point, but alas, I was wrong.

No one, that I am aware of, wishes to deny women their birth control. The issue is whether or not it is the responsibility of the taxpayer, to pay for birth control for all women. I personally think it is the responsibility of the woman to pay for her own.
Because of it's health benefits, I am surprised you feel this way.
Yes, when I was 16, I was put on birth control because my cycles would last for like 10 days, and I had horrible pain. Once I was on the pill, they lasted only for about 4 or 5 days and were less painful (still painful though).
To me, health care is a personal responsibility, not one of the state. It doesn't matter which bodily system it concerns- reproductive, cardiac, respiratory, etc. Reproductive function doesn't hold any special place in the spectrum of health issues.
Fair enough. You are a true Libertarian.
Hehe- you noticed. :lol:

Rewriting the same thing over and over doesn't make it either profound or relevant. There are many things that could be considered "good" in their own right, but that does not mean that the state should mandate that all people be compelled to achieve that particular good.Did you miss this part?:

ur post assumes that the state has the authority to impose a collective good at the expense of promoting the individual good. That is the principle of tyranny not of a free society.
Bad poll. We are not paying for anything. An insurance company is. They have to pay for all sorts of medical and voluntary things because people pay them to do so. Contraception is no different.
No, but it sure looks like you are, schutz.
I did and they said their identity was just as inalieanble as their body which was created by God.
… You take actions and they have results. Deal with life. Is life really so cruel you people really can't deal with the results of your actions? There is certain amount of weakness in that which is also not on me. If you need parents than don't leave home. …
If it's in the policy, then so be it. Requiring it to be in the policy isn't because people pay them, it's because the government forces them.
