How about both of them fu.ck off? How about people wake up to the fact that this is nothing more than a cheap diversionary tactic to keep your mind distracted from the multitude of real problems this country is facing.

And it's fitting that it involves an issue that shouldn't exist in the first place. Personal responsibility is lost on most.

Now lets devolve to the point where we're comparing sex addicts to alcoholics. They have no control! Oh no save them gubmint!

Does the alcoholic get free scotch from the government? Better make it Johnny Walker Blue - not that cheap Cutty Sark.

Prohibition is the answer. There are folks in Chicago drooling at the possibility.

of course this isn't the biggest problem we have facing us. doesn't mean it's not an issue at all. it shouldn't be an issue in this day and age at all.

at any rate, i know where joey is coming from, so any further attempts on my part would be a complete waste of time.

Oh yeah the birth control hypocrisy. Globalism is cool for most things but not prescription drugs. Gee I wonder why?

Problem is solved when the market is indeed free and you can purchase generic drugs overseas.

The only reason why this is an issue is due to collectivism. The pharmaceutical industry practically owns Washington. Forcing insurance companies and employers to cover birth control will only increase the cost of these products. I don't need a statistical chart from the infamous cooked book brigade to tell me otherwise. I still have common sense, thanks.

Exactly. I wish more people saw the obvious. Collectivism is the enemy of individual liberty.

interesting--and a necessary read for those who are concerned about taxpayer dollars and welfare, etc. of course the current debates don't have to do with tax dollars, but with employer provided coverages.

Love them or hate them, contraceptives do save taxpayers money, Brookings concludes.

The study, from the Brookings Center on Children and Families, looked at three different ways to prevent unintended pregnancies, which account for about half of all pregnancies in the U.S.

...by far the biggest return on investment would come from expanding access to family planning through Medicaid, something made possibly through the 2010 Affordable Care Act. A $235 million investment there would lower taxpayer costs of $1.32 billion by preventing unintended pregnancies.


you lower pregnancy rates, you lower maternity demands. you lower pre-natal demands. you lower additions to welfare and medicaid. you don't have expenses to cover a persons' health throughout their lifetime if they're never born.
just think, if you prevented unintended pregnancies, you just cut childbirth rates in half.

And those savings will be spent for more warfare or some other bulls.hit reason.

The reality is responsible folks who earn their money will pay more for bc at the store. The cost will be dumped on the working class so the lazy f.ucks can have sex for free.

Many programs for people 300% above the poverty level and below provide bc for free through the drug companies

Really wish you would wake the f.uck up and stop making it easier for scum to prevent pregnancies. You will pay for it. The pennies you save in taxes will be made up. Count on it.

that's always been my concern, that savings in one area would mean spending in another.
however....why would it be a bad idea to prevent unwanted pregnancies? not only do i not get why you feel cussing makes a better point, but i certainly don't get why i need to wake up in that regard. you read every day about kids abused or killed, so i'm dumb for wanting people to be informed on how to prevent having kids they don't want? i'm missing your logic there.
and if bc is provided free already, how can you drag increased costs in-wouldn't they already have that increase if it's already free?

Because the link you posted is assuming these retar.ds will have the mental capacity to use birth control. They overlook the fact that mandatory coverage does not equal personal responsibility. And lets be realistic, the costs of the unwanted pregnancies center around stupid people being irresponsible.

This fix won't work. They will keep adding mandates until we get to the point that they start promoting sterilization and having it tax-funded.

It's a slippery slope of fail and that's where our government shines.

true. i've been reminded before that i have to quit assuming everyone thinks like i do. obviously everyone doesn't care to be responsible. i guess it's like the movie line says, some men you just can't reach.

no, but the alcoholic does get treatment thru his insurer.
