Why Should A Planned Recreational Activity Be Covered By Health Insurance.... (drugs, healthcare)

Have you got a link that shows where HI provided by the Catholic church provides for Viagara?

Why do doctors prescribe Procrit if a hemoglobin is above 11?

You said there is no church prohibition against using BC to treat PCOS or endo, so why should a woman and/or her doctor have to specify what it is used for?

Nope, I didn't say that. I said they would not ask the question at the point of dispensing as they could with OCs. As I pointed out earlier. The drugs are used to treat 2 different conditions, one is ED, the church isn't against erections. OC are to prevent procreation. the church has a prohibition against inhibiting procreation.Viagra is only used for one thing (sometimes more) none of which are prohibited by the church.

Are you saying that Catholic employers routinely provide coverage for hormonal BC if it is prescribed for a reason besides contraception?

And ED is erectile dysfunction. Viagra is to have sex for fun. It is not a medical necessity to have/keep an erection.

Birth control is to prevent pregnancy, not to have sex for fun. It is also used for hormonal issues and to control intense painful menstruation.

I have no idea. I am saying there is a way to do it, and it isn't prohibited by Catholic teaching.

There are other drugs to treat those ailments. BC doesn't HAVE to be used. NEXT! Also, Viagra isn't only to have sex for fun, are you trying to say that if you take Viagra you can't ejaculate? LMAO!
