Yes that is the way insurance works. But a line has to be drawn somewhere. Health insurance would not cover my vitamins, or diet pills, or Viagra, or cigarettes.

The Viagra, it might. Since, you know, it's a prescription drug.

Exactly. If you got pregnant while you didn't plan to have kids, then you have only yourself to blame.

Condom bursts. Wat do.

That's what I've been saying. You need a medical reason for getting insurance to pay for birth control. If you only want birth control to prevent from getting pregnant then insurance shouldn't pay for it.

Preventing pregnancy IS a medical reason.

I meant medical reasons, not just life-or-death. It's okay for insurance to cover someone's pain meds if they're in pain. It shouldn't be covered if they're using pain meds to get high.

So, where does THIS come from?

To be clear, I'm not against birth control. I'm against making other people pay for something that's not used to save your life. It's an luxury item. Pay for it yourself.

It's pretty explicitly stating exactly what you meant, and now you're just trying to backpedal.

That is because their religion doesn't believe in using birth control. So why should they pay for the cost of someone else's using birth control? Employers do not have to offer health insurance to their employees if they don't want to. It's a perk that is part of being employed like parking space.
