So now you agree that insurance should cover contraceptives. Got it.



how could you become so stupid just a few posts after you revealed that you understood the difference between contraceptives prescribed for health reasons, and contraceptive use in general (social implications). Did you not understand your own post?

Using birth control to prevent pregnancy isn't a health reason?

contraceptives prescribed for health reasons have always been covered by health insurance the same ways other treatments have been covered. Healthcare providers have been using creative diagnosis for decades to make sure their clients get contraceptives under their respective coverage.

contraceptives are widely available and affordable in this country. Even in cases where they cause a financial burden, isn't that when Planned Parenthood provides equality of availability?



You mean the program that was just defunded by Republicans like Santorum? Brilliant argument. No one is trying to outlaw contraceptives, let's stop talking about it and look the other way as their availability is taken away.
