Not a single post in the thread has addressed a reason or rationale for giving people the things they want for free. If you insist that's incorrect, please reference the post number that discusses it. Or feel free to provide a reason of your own.
Health insurance benefits are not free, most emplyees have to also pay part of it and the rest is considered part of the employee benefits package that is considered to be part of their salary. There, that help ya catch up?
This is really funny though, seeing all these libs horrified. Getting a taste of their own medicine!!! And they don't like it!
Libs have been horrified by what righties say for many years now. The ignorance and hate spewed by right-wingers has NO bounds and the "stuff" posted on this board are simply more examples why the right has lost their collective minds.
"In the wake of a controversy over a requirement that religious institutions provide contraceptive coverage, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) now supports a bill that gives any employer the right to exclude any type health service that they find objectionable."
The employer should be allowed to adjust the coverage THEY pay for in any way they want, just like they can adjust pay rates.
The insurance company will not be giving anything for free. Somehow it will get paid for. How would you like the King telling your company that you have to give some of your product away for free?
Some people are trying to say the insurance company wants to give it away for free because it is cost effective,ie cheaper than unwanted births. If that was the case they would have been giving it away all along.
Adjusting pay rates is one thing, removing a basic service that is already part of a package simply because of your political or religious view is quite a different story. The major insurers, Blue Cross, United Health, GEHA, already provide this service as part of a basic package, what would be the point in an employer removing a service that is already no cost to the employer.
Then please explain the point of employer's insurance to me, as far as women are concerned. You want me to go to a different doctor, or the much maligned PP, to discuss a regular health maintenance issue, because you don't want to "pay" for me to have sex.
Wot? How much sense does that make?
Neither YOU nor an employer has any idea WHY a woman chooses to go on BC. It's quite frankly none of your business. Does a woman need to go into the CEO's office now to explain that she has such heavy periods that she can't function, so she needs a gynecological visit? Is that what we need to do, to stop this ridiculousness? Embarrass employers into coverage?
So either offer proper benefits for both sexes, or don't bother.
What are you talking about? You get a physical that is covered by insurance. Your doctor gives you a prescription. You just pay for the pills.
It IS the ultimate goal of the right-to-lifers, go to their website and they state it clearly for all to see. SO, if they got someone such as Santorum into the Whitehouse you can count on them pushing it. You seem to think that simply because a politician does not state publically that they would go this far automatically translates into them not being willing to do it, that is simple ingorant or naive thinking. The track record of politicians doing things when in office that they never said they would do, or doing the opposite of what they stated when they ran for office, is out there for all to see.
Santorums record is clear. He NEVER voted against birth control. Nice try by the truth squad.
