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?

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

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?

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

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...

[new-wave-witch.livejournal.com]

Why is contraception excluded from general insurance? That's as legitimate a need as any other medical treatment that should be covered through insurance.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

No it isn't.

[new-wave-witch.livejournal.com]

Dude.

Dudette?

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.

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.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

Incorrect, if in that particular set (e.g. country) women never ever eat breadsticks.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

No, in this particular set, woman are considered sluts and harlots if they eat breadsticks.

And no burritos for you!

I get to make up my sets.
