excuse me but YOU do not get to decide what "still affordable" means when it comes to a drug you do not have the least bit of experience with.
Sure I do! Guess what - if you're at a job that can offer insurance, a median price of $33/month is affordable! Or, conversely, you can buy a box of condoms for a fraction of that. Or go to a place like Planned Parenthood that exists specifically for situations like this.
I don't make blanket statements about dealing with testicular cancer, you do not get to tell us what is you very of "affordable" when it comes to female-hormone based pills.
I welcome you to make blanket statements about dealing with testicular cancer if you've done the research. You have every right!
The pills available at PP are a very limited scope of BC available, so you're wrong about that too. There's also the dr visits so you're wrong about that too.
Actually, I'm right about a lot of it. No, PP doesn't carry everything, that's obvious. But let's not pretend that this is somehow out of reach of working women who qualify for health insurance. It's not.
Face it Jeff you really don't know much about this. You don't have a dog in this fight. You're just taking that side because you're so used to doing it. Why not back away and remain neutral?
My dog in this fight is the religious freedom angle. It works both ways - as an atheist, should I have to pay for people's faith healing?
My dog in this fight is the mandate angle. If the government can force my employer, or me as an employer, to purchase health insurance for my employees, what can't they force me to do?
My dog in this fight is the cost angle. If the government can force my insurer to cover all FDA approved contraceptives, where will the cost controls come into play? Should everyone's insurance have to go up because the government never thinks before asking?
But no, let's talk about women's health more, and how much the right wing hates women. That's certainly more productive, and is obviously the broader issue. You know, except for the Constitution. Except for good government. No, none of that is important because we have to make sure our employers pay for something anyone who can afford insurance can get on their own. Sure.
