We can have the same stuff at a lower cost. Is it worth more because we pay more?





You know, we could save a TON of money by eliminating our police and army if people would just get along and not kill eachother.

I just identified 5000x as much savings as you did, and all people have to do is refrain from committing crimes!

I still think somethings are worth the cost and should be shared by all. This is one of those things.


Charity and private business should not be mixed. There is zero reason to believe that for-profit private businesses can manage charitable giving without turning it into a money maker.

You're advocating for charity for a portion of recipients. I'm okay with providing birth control charitably. It's stupid to try to do it through for-profit insurance companies. It just drives up costs.

So we shouldn't solve small problems so long as bigger problems exist?

Because it provides what benefit that couldn't be had cheaper?

I see both sides off the argument on this. Sexuality and reproduction are genuine health issues and should not be shoveled under the carpet as taboo where medicine is concerned.

On the other side of the coin. Has government intervened to mandate coverage like this in the past? If so, let's hear the precedence and go from there. If not, stay the hell out of things that do not concern federal reach.

I'm pretty sure the benefits are the same even if you pay less for them.
