Most people who are interested in this issue have done more than listen to Rush spew his drug-addled nonsense.
Ovarian cysts are not rare. Endometriosis is not rare. I know exactly how not rare they are because I can actually read and comprehend something as sophisticated as, well, Wikipedia, or even WebMD. You, on the other hand, apparently think that if you say something with force that will make it true. Sorry, facts don't work that way. You can't just pull bullshit out of your ass and not think it won't smell. And the smell factor is off the charts tonight in your posts.

Again: I am paying for it, through paying for insurance.
Also: do you really think that humans who are poor, and perhaps unprepared (mentally, economically, physically perhaps) to raise a child, are going to deny the single most basic and powerful human urge??
You have an absurd view of humans if you think that people are going to stop having sex. If you want people to have unplanned parenthood continue with your view. If you want people to have children on purpose, in a planned and [hopefully] prepared way--make sure people can access birth control, regardless of their economic standing.
Also: you may want to look into the book Freakonomics and its section on abortion. It may possible be in the sequel, SuperFreakonomics. Both are worth reading in their entirety.

Medicare for all! Medicare for all! Medicare for all!

Then you agree that they should.
No, I don't. Who am I to decide how a private company should conduct its business?

I guess, then, that I don't understand what you meant with the point that "most insurances cover it." Could you clarify please?
Don't they know they are taking chances? Look, the point is people can do whatever they want. But, they should know the consequences and should not count on other to take care of their business. That's all.
What part of do whatever you want, but don't ask me to pay for it you don't understand?
You said the broken leg thing was different earlier. Don't people know that by being active they take the chance of breaking their leg? They should know the consequences and not count on others to take care of their broken leg.
Insurance companies are private enterprises - if they want to cover something - great, if not - that is their business - do not force them.
Then what's the point of having medical insurance at all?
Your taxes did not go towards the contraception for employees of Hobby Lobby.
The point is for the consumer to go and get an insurance that she needs. She/he wants to cover contraception only - get Ins A, she/he wants a cover for accidents - get Ins B, and so on...
Why is contraception excluded from general insurance? That's as legitimate a need as any other medical treatment that should be covered through insurance.
No, I was incorrect. My taxes went towards ACA subsidy recipients.
Same principle goes for Hobby Lobby - if they don't want to pay for whatever they don't want to pay, fine. Don't force them.

The difference is that their insurance company is fine for paying it.
I have to say, you're good though, at least today.

So you're OK with companies paying their employees less if they're women?
Until they find a religious exemption to not pay for my broken leg, that is.
One more time - they should be able to cover and not to cover whatever they want. You don't get to tell them what to do! You do not tell Italian restaurant to make you a burrito, and sue them if they refuse.
I do not reply to rude people. Don't bother.
If the Italian restaurant gives the man breadsticks with their meal and doesn't give the woman breadsticks with her meal just because she's a woman then there's probably a suit there.
