Jeff,

Basic health care isn't something one can choose or choose not to buy. Reproductive care is basic health care. No different to screening for male only cancers or treating male only disorders.

Nobody is trying to argue that employers should be allowed to deny men basic health care as part of insurance, but seemingly you think it's okay to discriminate against women and to deny them basic healthcare as part of their insurance.

Basic health care has a huge impact on people's lives. It extends them, makes them healthier, improves productivity and generally is GOOD for a company, companies make more money with a healthy productive workforce. The objection to providing basic healthcare to women has fuck all to do with logic or reasonable business behaviour and everything to do with bigotry and discrimination.

If you truly believe the crap you're spouting, kindly lobby (and prove you have lobbied) your representatives to have MALE basic healthcare fall under the same rules. If women can be expected to "choose" to pay for basic healthcare despite having insurance already, so can men.
