Health insurance is to protect those major things you can't afford to go wrong.
If my girlfriend gets pregnant, that would be a major thing we can't afford to go wrong right now.
Do you buy full coverage auto insurance with no deductible? How about extended warranties? What if the government told you to get those things? I think leaving out minor expenses make people more responsible for their general health.
How is that anywhere near comparable? The government is not forcing anyone to buy birth control, or coverage that will include birth control. The law merely requires that employers not interfere to prevent the insurance company from making the option available. I can choose to buy car insurance that will cover many things, or I can choose to buy insurance that only covers a few things. The health care law will open up those options to choose for all people.
[quiote]You were the one whining to a mod about an entire group of people. I consider that a rant. Own it.
So you think the money to cover contraceptives just manifests out of thin air, or the Tooth Faery creates it? How about you start buying your own condoms. Talk about a cheap date.
