When people rack up insurance claims, for their weekend flings, those insurance claims end up driving up insurance premiums, which filter right back down to ME and other premium payers.
Are you like RUsh, you think that a woman has to take more birth control if she's having more Sex? Do you even understand how the lady parts work?

It is my dime. That policy indirectly costs me money. When my company has to pay a higher price for insurance, they too end up passing that cost down to ME and other premium payers, by increase the amount of the total insurance policy I have to pay.
Further, employers pay employees less in wages, to cover the cost of health care.
Today the total number of firms offering employees health insurance is now only 57%, the lowest it's been in 15 years.
Yes, but that has nothing to do with birth control. Birth control actually SAVES money, as $300.00 in birth control pills is cheaper than a $3000-$10,000 full term pregnancy that takes an employee off the line for 12 weeks.
Before, most place had very low deductibles. Now 38% of all company plans have deductibles over $1,000.
The cost of these "pay for my everything" Obama care requirements are being passed on to the customer, as all regulations are.
*YOU* are paying for this. Not Hobby Lobby. Not your company. *YOU* are. And *WE* are.
Where you people get off living in this mythical world where we are not paying for stuff is beyond me.
Again, what we are paying for are Nine-Figure salaries for insurance executives.
BUt as far as priorities go, paying for prevention is cheaper than paying for treatment.
$300.00 in Birth Control is cheaper than $10,000 for a live birth requiring a Caesarian Section.
A $1000 colonoscopy is cheaper than a $100,000 treatment of Colo-rectal cancer.
The Europeans live longer and have less expenses because they have universal coverage and strong preventive measures.
So if you are arguing cost, you are really barking up the wrong tree.
