A vasectomy is done in a doctors office, in and out in an hour. With giving birth you are admitted to the hospital, that is why it has the costs it does.
Insurance is nothing more than a business, businesses' offer incentives.
It is a proven fact that it costs more to insure a female over a male.
Cost of medical insurance is not a factor in employment. An employer lays out what they will pay of whatever the employees portion is. Often times, that percentage is company wide, sometimes not. But the point is, an employer is going to X no matter what the bottom line is.
As far as those annoying privacy laws? Be careful what you wish for......
I for one am thankful for them.
My point exactly. The law prevents worse discrimination. But there is no good reason for a standard childbirth to cost so much. The doctor is there only at the very end to catch the baby, cut the cord and make sure everything is OK, and the only other cost is to rent the space for recovery and change diapers.
BTW I'm not wishing for the privacy laws to go away. If anything, they need to be stronger.
Private business is just that PRIVATE. They should be able to hire who they want to for whatever reason they want to. I don't like racism, but I believe that private business owners should be able to not hire whatever races they don't like.
It doesn't mean I have to buy from the companies I don't like either, but thats my choice. They should have the choice to do whatever they want with their business.

Misread you sorry !
Now come on....you must pay for every tissue you use, square of TP and Coke you drink. LOL....
Seriously though, that is why more and more people are going with Midwives to deliver, birthing at home etc...
Once the slippery slope is greased with the lost rights of smokers, the fatties, and who's next? You because you wear jeans or you because you like beer, or you because you like........??
The slippery slope never really has a bottom so be very careful what you all wish for and believe.

No, I don't think anyone should be fired for body size or smoking, but maybe they should have to cough up (pun intended) more money for health care costs.
In the end it really matters more just how valueable you are to them really. You make them money they could careless if ytou smoke or are obese really.
