BBC: Trump Rolls Back Access to Birth Control through the ACA

When will they eliminate the fully medically unnecessary Viagra from insurance?

Companies should not be mandated to provide birth control to their employees

BTW, the article is a good lesson in how words have no meaning anymore

Changing laws that Mandate bosses to provide BC to women does not mean that women are prevented from obtaining BC

If the government mandated that you must have a palm tree in your backyard, and then reversed that mandate, does that mean that you can't have a palm tree in your backyard?

You do know that there are millions of women on BC, not for birth control but for what the pill also does? So you're basically saying it's not medically necessary when for many it is. Not like it matters to you I imagine though.

It's about accessibility to medically required essentials, rather than whether or not they can have it. Stop with the false equivalences.

Did you know that birth control is used for more than just anti-contraceptive measures?

Words can always "have no meaning" depending on the context. However, in this case, you just chose to ignore the premise altogether.

To me, it is ridiculous to mandate that your boss pay for your birth control. If he/she wants to, then that is their right. But we as a nation aren't about mandating things that go against beliefs.

It's the height of hypocrisy to want the government out of your vaginal activity but then turn around want the government to pay for your birth control

Furthermore, it's insane to think that access is "over" for a woman if their boss doesn't pay for it

There are innumerable amount of options

So you're trying to create death panels based on religious beliefs then? Sounds about right.

It's beyond time that birth control was available over the counter

There's actual medical reasons for why it shouldn't. BC isn't just a one size fits all, sometimes people can have very bad reactions to certain types, it's something you need to see a doctor and work with them to get the right version and regular medical care

Why do religious conservatives think birth control is bad? Do they advocate for unwanted children being born out of wedlock by teenagers etc.?

I'm not saying it's bad ,I'm just saying insurance companies should have a right whether they want to cover it or not (as long as taking the pill is not vital to their health ).

Insurance companies try and dissuade doctors from running medically necessary tests for cost reasons, they don't have the heath of the patient in mind, just the bottom line. Why not leave it up to actual doctors to decide what is and is not necessary instead of worthless insurance bean counters?
