If and when the daughters get pregnant they can present all the bills associated with the unwanted child to the father. It is his responsibility to pay them as he had an option to keep this from happening!!!!!
1. The father isn't responsible for his adult childrens' birth control - or medical costs in general (unless they are incapacitated adults, which apparently isn't the case here).
2. There are many different insurance plans out there - it's not like this is the only insurance policy people can choose. If someone wants an insurance policy that covers birth control, they can easily find one - and it's likely to be LESS expensive than one that doesn't cover birth control.
3. Birth control isn't a "right." It's an option - and most adults realize that options usually cost money. If adults want birth control, they can easily get it - and they'll generally have to pay for it, either out of their own pocket, or via an insurance premium. If this guy's adult daughters want birth control, they need to go get some. It's just not that hard. Their birth control is their responsibility - it's not the state's responsibility, the federal government's responsibility, or even their dad's responsibility.
4. There are many different insurance plans. They cover various things. Some cover more things than others and the costs vary tremendously. There are different plans for different needs. For instance, we needed a plan that covers my husband fully while he travels (PPO vs HMO). We had to pay more for it, but it meets our needs better than HMOs. If we didn't need the additional coverage though, I sure wouldn't want to be paying for it. In spite of recent changes in the law, insurance plans can still be tailored somewhat to different individuals' needs.
As a liberal I'm all for this. Its not like they are saying no insurance plan can cover birth control. They simply believe the market should be allowed to provide an option for those who do not want to support birth control. What will **** me off is if they then demand that non birth control plans not be more expensive than birth control plans. Lets not forget that insurance companies like birth control. Pregnancy is expensive.
Yeah, in the meantime they ALL pay for Viagra. Why is that so much more important then BC??? Cause it's for men?
Why don't the two adult daughters just go get their own health insurance plan that fits their needs or desires? There are plenty of insurance plans that offer birth control - in fact, most of them do.
The daughter should pull a Bristol and pawn her surprise kid off on him for a lifetime of free babysitting. After all, the future doting grandpa is volunteering for it with this stunt
