And? Should I have a different stance on the issue because I am?
Personally, I support peoples free choice to say no. If they don’t excercise that free choice, it sure as hell isn’t my responsibility to provide birth control because of their inability or unwillingness to control their urges.

Birth control saves money. You have any idea how expensive it is to have a kid?

I bet it is way cheaper than that gotta have newest latest i-Phone monthly payments along with the average pricey unlimited data plan. Priorities

It’s also covered by all marketplace compliant insurance plans, with no deductible or co-payment.
Which will go away with the ACA…

shrug It’s cheap, people can buy it themselves.If they are too poor to afford contraception, they qualify for medicaid.
Do you know what it takes to qualify in many states?

In many states it’s been literally impossible to qualify for Medicaid if you are a non-disabled adult without children.

Good, we’re at full employment, if you are able to work there is no reason tax payers should support you.

If it’s so cheap why do people freak out that it’s covered without cost sharing by insurance? This is such a minor issue compared to the attention it receives.

Ask them, it doesn’t bother me outside the feds having no business telling insurance what they have to cover in general.

You are one of them which is why I asked you.
I don’t think you have any idea how messed up the country would be if you got your wishes.

I am? Where did I ever freak out over the cost of insurance companies having to provide contraception?
Generic pricing at Walmart without insurance, about the cost of a pizza
Very little. Another joke of Obamacare, only monthly income is considered when evaluating eligibility for Medicaid. Another insane ACA loophole.
Wealthy people are receiving subsidies. Even millionaires. I can have a million dollars in a savings account that I am living off, but have no monthly income and qualify for the expanded medicaid under the ACA. Ain’t it grand!
