Why should anyone be forced to pay for a guy to get it up? Just so we're clear, bitch bitch bitch. There, I bitched about it.Originally Posted by Lulu
In the vast majority of cases, that's exactly what it is. It is used to allow people to have sex without fear of getting pregnant. In some cases, it really is used to treat medical conditions.Because at the core of this issue, it's sexism. It's treating women like they are children and not able to make decisions for themselves. If something is approved by the FDA, it is not recreational.
Why should schools be forced to provide insurance at all? Under the current law, students can remain on their parents' policies until well into adulthood. It sounds like these students should be taking it up with Mom and Dad.Yet you have no problem with schools requiring students to pay $1895/year and profiting from costly insurance that doesn't take care of their needs.

The ambassador died, Obama lied.
But being normal does require contraception. And, according to research, not having sex is highly unhealthy.
Of course, medicine and health aren't entirely about treating disease. In some cases, they do nothing other than prevent them through lifestyle.
That would make hunger a medical condition, which brings it under the healthcare umbrella, which means the government can dictate Kosher delis have to provide non-kosher items for free. But that's not what you meant, is it?

If contraception shouldn't be covered, why should pregnancy be covered?

Should that be changed?Although vasectomy is expensive, it is a one-time cost and is often covered by medical insurance.
No, it doesn't.

It does if you want to limit the number of children you have to the number you can properly care for.
That's for individuals to decide, not government or insurance companies.

I agree. If insurance companies or the gov were trying to force people into contraceptives, it would be an outrage.
But covering vasectomies and contraceptives isn't doing that. Covering those things gives people greater liberty to healthily live their lives the way they choose and have the number of children they desire and can properly care for.
We've been through this before. That's not an insurance issue.
Or, risking one's health by giving birth to unwanted children.
Sex is a choice. If you don't want children, don't have sex.

Sex is about WAY more than procreation. You're being overly simplistic with that statement. Pregnancy is but one of many outcomes of sex.

Providing things that are unnatural doesn't promote anyone's liberty. If you can't afford kids, don't have sex.

No, it's not a choice. It's an instinct bred into us by evolution, and if you want to be healthy, you need to have sex. Various types of illnesses and cancer are far more likely to occur in the celibate, for example.
Since it's the point of health insurance to provide the implements of health, contraceptives should be covered.
Only because contraception exists. Procreation is the only one that really matters.

So married people who don't want kids should never have sex?
That seems natural to you?
How old are you? Are you married?
Contraceptives don't make people healthy.

They don't need government or insurance to get contraception. It's readily available for purchase and there is a free, perfectly safe alternative.

Of course they do. Pregnancy is always a threat to a mother's health.
