the sonic dildo: I've have already taken you apart on this pajamas. You are too dishonest to start again and waste my time with you however.
Taken apart? I gave you ten instances where prophylactic care was covered. You insisted that three of them were special cases, totally unlike contraception for some vague reason that only you know.

the sonic dildo: quin there have been numerous times I have encounterd and calle dyou out on our dishonesty. You making these bold assertions does not change what you and I both know.
Your mistake is in thinking that if we don't just automatically accept your opinion as reality we are being dishonest. You can't just say things like "that is completely different" without reason and think that you have responded with any degree of finality. That is what 7 year olds do.

It just seems so bizarre to me that this is an issue in this part of the world in this day and age. There's gotta be some sort of ulterior motive.

Yes decisively.

You are trying to make a case for the medical necessity of Birth control pills. Were there was medical need I said that is covered. Also the CAtholic Church make exception is these cases as well.

• Vaccines for measles, polio, meningitis, and HPV (human papilloma virus)
• Shots for flu and pneumonia prevention
• Screening, vaccines, and counseling for healthy pregnancies
• Well-baby and well-child visits up to the age of 21, as well as vision and hearing, developmental assessments, and body mass index (BMI) screenings for obesity

Your reason is that all of these things I present are just DIFFERENT than birth control in ways you can't articulate. I disagree with you. And I think you are falling victim to this same sort of "culture war" thinking that is driving the rest of the right wing in this country. Misplaced judgmentalism over people who live their lives differently than you.

Also. Are you fucking insane?

I have to take the mini-pill. I tend toward anemia and I get anemic quickly on the pill. The downside is that the mini-pill I use is way more expensive and I have to take it at exactly the same time every ay, unlike the regular pill, which has some leeway. And I have to take them at all times, even during that time.

jimmythehutt: How exactly would that work? Individual rates are prohibitively expensive for a great many people.
There are several ways to address that. First, we could move all the tax incentives that currently accrue to employers on buying health insurance and shift them to individuals. Secondly, we could allow formation of voluntary "groups" for people to join and jointly negotiate insurance rates with like-minded people of their choosing, not their employer's choosing. Alternatively, we could tell the insurance companies to take a hike and move to a direct subsidy system like France. Finally, there's the little issue that most of the reason individual accounts are so expensive right now is that there's not enough of a market in them to spur competition - most of the market is in group coverage.

Alternatively, we could go the Denmark route and change the way Health Insurance companies are regulated, shifting them to Utility model. I'm not sure how well that would work based on the population size, though. The French solution raises the same concerns.
However, the initial transition away from the employer model would likely end up having some very harsh consequences. They certainly wouldn't roll it out all at once. In addition, the regulation of these voluntary groups is going to require new government agencies in addition to existing ones or expansions of existing ones, as the employer-model would still likely exist for some time.

the sonic dildo: The dishonesty is you trying to sell Birth Control as health care... it is not.
You can list thousands of actual screaning and legitimate prevetnive care measures throughout health care and none of that will change that birth control is not health care.
Why not? It is preventative care for the condition known as pregnancy. A condition that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and is often unwanted. Can you explain why it is not health care when millions of women consider it so?

quinblake: Kinda like insisting the music and pop culture from their generation was THE BEST.
Indeed. Also like continuing to insist one's personal opinion, that a complex system arose due to only one kind of business pressure, is the only explanation.
It's sort of silly, but they got away with it for a long time.

sloth: I don't know what's sadder - the inability to spell prophylactic the same way twice in the same sentence, or the mistaken idea that birth control pills are not prophylactics.
This is frustrating. My health care plan covers so much preventative care. And that's great. It's cheaper than the alternative, really. Why is this a problem?

abt12monk: Birth control pills can be used not only for contraceptive purposes, but also to prevent acne, unusually bad PMS (both caused by polycystic ovaries). It can also be used to prevent the anemia resulting from high blood loss during periods. BC can also prevent uterine cancer.
That's really irrelevant to his point. I mean, he's an idiot - birth control is health care by any reasonable measure. It's not what one would typically call medically necessary care, or diagnostic care, but it is health care. And, no the fact that there are diagnostic uses for the drugs doesn't change the fact that when used as contraceptive it's not a diagnostic treatment.

Exactly. I know that BCPs help women in numerous cases, but I was focusing on Birth control as preventing pregnancy as health care. Which it is.

Actually there are ways to have employer-associated health care that don't necessarily allow employers to dictate care. Both the Bismarck and Beveridge models manage it, and they differ by country using them.
No other country is "like" us, necessarily, overall. Many parts of the country or stratifications of the population are quite comparable to other countries. Problem being, once the nuanced argument is made, the answer tends to be "Nuh-uh!" Which makes the conversation feel pretty pointless.

Considering that childbirth is one of the riskiest things most women will ever do, BCP is indeed medically necessary, imho.
BTW Fox news is reporting that Mitt Romney has claimed today that he would stop funding Planned Parenthood if he is elected President.

Dude... how many times do we have to say that using BCPS for legitimate medical reason is the exception?
And... that the Catholic Church and Georgetown agree with that and make the exception.

Yeah, he makes an opinionated statement and then says, "If you disagree, you are wrong, and I already countered it." and then claims some sort of victory and that it's everyone else who is wrong. Dogma at it's finest.

The Pregnancy Discrimination Act modified Title VII in 1978 to include "pregnancy and related medical conditions". It was the basis for this EEOC decision and Erickson v. Bartell Drugs.

I am going to say something that, if you are paying attention, should blow your mind. In fact, this is something the entire Socially conservative right needs to understand. Ready? here goes:
Not having sex is 100% effective against pregnancy. Telling people to not have sex is virtually completely ineffective against pregnancy.
Why? Because despite your rabid authoritarian ideal, not everyone will choose to live like you do. And a culture that has freedom as its core ideal will not WANT to make them live like you.

But I am not telling you or anyone not to have sex. If you want to have sex, you can do whatever you want, but you should be prepared to pay for the cost of your contraception if your health plan does not cover it.

They're not forced to pay for something they believe is wrong. They pay the insurer, and the insurer pays for the thing.
It's just like your employer is not being forced to pay for all that scat porn. They're paying you, and you are paying for it. Once the money leaves their hands, they lose the right to decide how it should be spent.
Would you really want it to be some other way? "Oh, sorry Mr Smith, I can't sell you alcohol... Your employer doesn't approve of alcohol."

There is no reason why an insurance plan that covers preventative care of all kinds would not cover BCPs. And no reason to support employers being able to remove coverage for anything they like based on what THEY believe, not what the PATIENT believes. Why should employers be able to make health decisions for people?
And, hey, what do you think will happen if birth control gets more expensive? I think that you and Santorum and the rest of them will imagine that somehow people will just stop having recreational sex. Let me ask you a question. Would anything stop you from having sex?
