Birth control pill cost, and the insurance companies

[Celebration]

I decided to see what all the hoopla was about birth control pills, and insurance companies, from an economic perspective rather than a political perspective and found this little gem, which I probably mistakenly posted in "Health" rather than here. This link takes you to the health group.

No wonder we didn't see the insurance companies make any statements about Obama's compromise plan, which had the insurance companies cover birth control. LOL, and forget anybody's argument that says health insurance premiums would rise if birth control is covered....................even excluding the "fewer birth" argument.

1. Time for "single payer" which will remove all of the gouging & we'd finally have health care

that addresses medical issues instead of rationing care in favor of profits.

2. The coverage will be WITHOUT copays & starts in 2013.

and there are already built in exclusions. Personally, I think the GOP is stupid to make this an issue, it brings more attention to "Obama-care" that people are NOT going to want to part with...because the wealthy don't need coverage, those working have it, but those who have gone without for a very long time...that percentage of women...just might be realizing the stupidity of a GOP vote thanks to this ruckus. I think they forgot women have the right to vote.
