Sex-Crazed Co-eds Going Broke Buying Birth Control

[Centurion1]

As long as viagra is covered by insurance I refuse to hear why the pill shouldn't be.

The pill has a litany of uses other than just contraception. Many woman take it to regulate periods or deal with ovarian cysts, to name a few off the top of my head. Now how we handle the particulars of coverage has merit, but to demonize these women as harlots is a terrible strawman and reeks of mysoginy.

This has more to do with women having sex than it ever did with the validity and cost effective measures of the pill. It's a puritanical, knee jerk reaction.

I didn't know that Viagra was covered by insurance. If I was running an insurance company I wouldn't cover it. But your argument is sadly moot. The insurance companies are not being forced by the government to cover viagra there is no mandate requiring it. They are doing it of their own volition. The issue here is that organizations are being forced to provide birth control. It is not whether it is more valid than other things it is simply because they are being forced too. PLus many insurance companies will cover birth control if it is for medical reasons so also moot.

First off, This wouldn't be an issue if we just did what the UK does and in a few years that will happen.

The issue has ceased to be about birth control. If we were talking about the particulars I would say simply making it afforadable to women would be the best option as many who need it for medical reasons don't have insurance to begin with. The medical issues that the pill helps aliveate are numerous and very valid.

The issue now is that when this was discussed it was 6 old men who disscussed it and talk radio is already beating the slut drum half to death. If you want to talk partricualrs we can talk particulars but right now this is about the fact people are up in arms about women having sex
