Here's the thing....she didn't say that.

“Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3000 during law school," Fluke said.

Average law degree 4 years undergrad plus 3 year post-grad = 7 years.

7 years = 84 months

$3000 / 84 months = $35 a month

You count 4 years of undergrad as 'during law school' ? Good one

Why should a college health insurance policy cover for all of that? That is too much. In previous post you said that law students aren't advised to work, so how could she afford it anyway if she doesn't have a job? She should do like everybody else and wait until she graduates and finds a good job to cover for all of that. Because if colleges start offering full health insurance then you will have people taking advantage of it by enrolling in college just for that.

I know what I am talking about. She needs to do like everybody else and get a job that offers full health insurance instead of trying to get a free ride through the school

Is Sandra Fluke Coordinating with the White House?

Liberal activist Sandra Fluke made her case to the mostly female audience of the ABC show "The View," where she claimed —apparently without irony— that she is being silenced by Rush Limbaugh. She also gave a significant clue that her "stunned” sense of outrage seems to be a scripted part of a larger narrative trifecta: supporting Obamacare, destroying religious liberty and silencing the right.

Anyone who follows the Institutional Left was probably suspicious when President Obama called Ms. Fluke on the phone in his unofficial role as Community Organizer in Chief. I scoured the history books and can't find another case of a sitting president personally contacting a US citizen because a radio talk show host had said something about them that hurt their feelings. Certainly, President Obama made no such called to Laura Ingraham when MSNBC's Ed Schultz called her a ****. Ms. Fluke described the President as "kind."

However, Ms. Fluke pulled back the curtain midway through her interview on "The View" when she suggested that viewers head over to the website of Media Matters for America. As The Daily Caller recently exposed, there's been a high level of coordination between the White House and Media Matters for America, so of course it's no shock that Ms. Fluke chose MMFA as her leftist propaganda arm of choice.
Dear Ms. Fluke...if the shoe fits.........WEAR it.

You're right.

I should have asked, "What else are women like Fluke incapable of paying for by themselves?"

More funny math. Seven years for law school. You're reaching.

$3000 / 36 = $83.

You are so right. It's about a Catholic university covering something that conflicts with their beliefs. She chose to go to that school. Now she needs to live with the consequences of her decisions.

She's like the people that buy a house next to the airport, then demand that the airport move because the planes are bothering them.

Fluke knows this is BS just like her sex change welfare issue. She only said it because she is among the many entitlement monsters that wants everything for free for herself that someone else has to pay for.

I would say screw her, but she claims to be busy anyway.
I think the jar at the base of the bed for tips handles the entire problem.
