My wife was on birth control for medical reasons well before we were married.
Insurance covers it.
I understand the argument that if the government is going to pay for healthcare, then contraception for medical reasons should be covered. But this goes back to the root of the problem. I don't think the government should pay for healthcare.
I feel like this is a shady ploy by those who support the healthcare bill to move past its constitutionality/general acceptance and into why only the lunatic fringe opposes it based on insignificant fractions.
It's startling to see these kind of tactics, but then again, it's not unlike those on the extreme left to use bullshit argument strategies to get what they want.
"I oppose Barack Obama because he lacks experience." That's only because his skin is dark and you suffer from racist tendencies.
"I don't think the government should be doling out monthly checks to poor people especially not for a long period of time." So you're one of those looney "trickle down" Reaganists that thinks the rich should be taken care of and the poor feel the tax burden.
"I don't think the government should pay for healthcare." Oh look! Another misogynist, chauvinist pig who thinks women on birth control are sluts and only the elite should receive healthcare.
Sadly, there are no adults in the room to combat any of this.
