[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]insurance is for [b]emergencies and catastrophes[/b].  birth control is cheap.  if you have cable or a cell phone and you are trying to make this silly argument...you are a deadbeat. (and maybe a slut)[/quote]

Number one, the bolded line above, not true.  The primary benefit of health insurance is preventative care, which lowers the risk of costly emergencies, catastrophes, and other costly medical conditions (like pregnancy!).  Good preventative care coverage is cost-effective for insurance companies.  If we only insured against costly things, then we'd have more costly things to cover...get it?

Number two: by your logic, if you can't afford to pay full price for any prescription medication, you are a deadbeat if you don't cancel your cable or cell phone to pay for it. Okay.... so, what's the point of paying for insurance then if not to cover prescription drugs and other medical costs that would be too expensive if not for the advantages provided by a group medical plan?  Or really, is it just hormonal birth control?  And why single that out?  What's your logic?  I'm failing to understand how making it easier for people to get birth control is a BAD thing???

Following your rediculous logic is exactly why the government involvement in healthcare will be overturned by the supreme court.  In the name of preventative care the government can coerce almost any behavior out of it's subjects.  Additionally, if you don't recieve food or water or have heat in the winter of shelter.... You will die faster than not having birth control so under your silly logic...it should all be paid for by insurance.....back door communism is stupid.[/quote]

Was there a coherent point in there somewhere that I missed?  No one is forcing anyone to take contraceptives, insurance companies are providing the option because it makes sense for their bottom lines to do so.   It would not make sense for their bottom lines to provide everyone with heat or housing.   Keep going, this is fun.  [/quote]
