Posted: Jul 1, 2014

I know when I was young and needed it most people actually had some money left over to pay for stuff like that after your essentials came out - can any of us MTs honestly say we could afford birth control today if we had to use it?

And we are not the only ones who have been victims of corporations lowering and lowering your pay while prices in the real world went up and up.

I do think free contraception is a good thing. Contraception stops unwanted pregnancy = prevents abortion.

I think this ruling is ominous and unfair. Corporations are NOT people and the Supreme Court should NOT be pro-corporation and anti-indivual, which I truly believe it is at the moment.

See how far we have come. This is such a divided country; part wants the government to do EVERYTHING for them which means it has to intrude on someone else's rights because the government produces nothing, and the other part wants limited government. We need to start relying on people and not politicians, because they only want to get re-elected and power.

Think about that this July 4. Think about people as individuals. Politicians use deceptive words. The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their correct names.

"The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their correct names." - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
I agree with that statement so let's call things by their correct name.

Corporations are not people; they are corporations. Corporations also are not religious institutions and should not be given rights to make decisions for their employees based on religious beliefs of their owners. Any Supreme Court that defines a corporation as a person with rights of an individual and as a religious institution is merely playing politics and ignoring the Constitution.

You are free, of course, to despise government to your heart's content, but to say that "government produces nothing" reveals a lack of knowledge regarding government and it's function at local, state, and national levels. Government produces things such as law and order, flow of commerce, public safety, research, and defense. Politicians are merely representatives of their constituents, the people. We can't all individually cram onto the House or Senate floors and be heard, and it is their role to collectively be our voice. If you don't like your representative in Washington, exercise your right to vote to replace them with someone you'd rather have represent you.

Government: It's a pretty basic concept and just really not the sinister evil institution that some people would have you to believe.

Government is made up of people just like - corporations; one is made

up of politicians trying to get your vote to keep them in power. I don't trust the government no matter who is in power.

Big business, unions, "factions" as the Constitution calls (we call them special interest )are dangerous. Big corporations donate money to both parties so they wound pass regulations against them. It's called fascism in some places. Think GM.

This country was founded on the principles that individuals could run their own lives, not governments and not corporations.

Is that the law of the land? Principles do not dictate that all Americans adhere to the doctrines of ANY religion, nor does the constitution.

Principles of all religions align with moral values. However, when one religion forces itself upon the rest of the community, we run into deep trouble (see history).

It has to do with the flawed message and everything to do with the fact that those who condone the flawed message should not be allowed to limit health coverage to anyone the company chooses to hire outside of their belief system.

Does it help in family planning, as in avoiding undesired pregnancies?

Does it eliminate abortions due to women who can't afford BC?

Does it eliminate children born to poor couples on welfare who now are also in the system?

Does it aid in all the other reasons women are prescribed BC for medical reasons?

Maybe you should ask your insurance company if they will pay for peyote.

I have no problem with peyote being paid for if it has medicinal or therapeutic values or comforts those who are suffering.

Actually, the history of the SC ruling was based on - peyote using by Native Americans

[ In Reply To ..]
as religious, and passed by Bill Clinton and overwhelmingly supported by the democrats in 1993.

"The Supreme Court ruled Monday that the government's contraception mandate as applied to closely held corporations was a violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which was signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1993."

You can read the history of RFRA, but it was because of peyote that it came into being. And by the way, the government does not have the right to unilaterally slap down a federal statute with an executive order.

How far we have come.

You keep saying this stuff should be provided for free. Nothing is for free. Someone has to pay for it. You don't just give away stuff for free.

You want it you pay for it. It is not an employee's duty to pay for something that is not a medical necessity. They don't pay for rubbers they should not pay for bc. Bc is a personal choice for a lifestyle that not everyone shares.

You expect they should pay for your movies, dinners out, ball games, theme park admission, etc? No. You want something you pay for it.

No you are losing the argument - sm

I said I didn't mind paying for it if it is approved as medically efficacious including comfort (as in marijuana).

Please explain lifestyle. Married couples having sex. Is that a lifestyle?

Poor married couples having sex? Is that a problem? You want their kids in the system? Do you want to pay for that?

Christians never have sex outside of marriage, I know, so that is not an issue.

Movies, dinners, ball games, and the rest of your list is not considered health care, so why do you bring it up?

only 4 abortion drugs are not via HL case.

There are still 16 BC options in ACA. In fact, even if they would have wanted the BC pills out of the ACA, they could still BUY them. If a person doesn't have $15-$50 a MONTH for BC, then there's a problem with their lifestyle choices $$-wise.

But, let's not forget Planned Parenthood. I'm sure they would offer free BC pills. Don't know if every PP site does, but some do.

If a company hires employees who are not of their faith or belief system, they should be compelled to give them access to any form of health care that is otherwise offered to all members of the community.

I looked up Jehovah's Witnesses and what companies they own because I was interested in finding out if they might file a similar lawsuit to prohibit blood transfusions to their employees, but guess what? They only employ members of their religion.

Well then that says a lot of about Hobby Lobby - since they are willing to employ others. nm

HL gives healthcare to their employees. Keep repeating it until you realize that HL gives healthcare to their employees.

Again, it is OBAMA who argued that the requirement wasn’t a mandate at all because the companies could have dropped coverage. Note the words "COMPANIES COULD HAVE DROPPED COVERAGE."

So some of you would rather a company fully drop their health care coverage of their employees than to allow certain small businesses drop the 4 drugs they consider abortion drugs. That really makes sense, now doesn't it?

The pill:

With insurance - $5-40 a month.

Without insurance - $20-50 a month.

Cigarettes - $4-6 a pack - $120 to 180 a month.

For less than 66 cents a day someone can protect themselves.

I don't think it has anything to do with cost. It has to do with those wanting something wants someone else to pay for it. What about those who go out drinking on the weekends. Should HL now pay their liquor bill. I know what about the people who want to go skiing or a ball game. Should their employers now pay for that too.

Birth control (which is an optional pill - i.e. not a medication for a life threatening disease) is a responsibility that if a couple decide to have sex they want to make sure they take.

Other options:

Nuvaring
Diaphragm
IUD
Female condom
male condom
Patch
Implant
Sterilization

For the poster to whom you responded to have that as a necessary prerequisite of elected officials is scary. What about the rest of the religions this country is comprised of or even the right not to practice a religion? Are they to be ignored? Are they noncitizens? Should their rights be in jeopardy by suggesting or pushing for a Christian agenda in government? Very dangerous territory.

Religious freedom or choosing not to belong to a religion is why we became America. I love the way people either don't know that (lack of education maybe?) or choose to ignore the foundation on which our country was built.

Not only is it the opposite of Christian, it is the opposite of American.

Comparing cigarettes and alcohol to health care costs to prove a political point seems pretty silly, in my opinion.

And really? You're giving medical advice with really way too much information. Your "free" method of contraception is something you should really keep to yourself. LOL. Expecting or encouraging others to follow your personal example of birth control method is about the worst advice I believe I've ever read on this board. Birth control is NOT one-size-fits-all.

I will definitely be thinking when I vote this October. Yes, October! I'm not waiting until November. The minute the early voting starts, I'm first in line voting a straight Democratic ticket.

It cost less money for bc than it does to smoke drink, go to a movie, etc.

Getting birth control is not a right. It's a lifestyle choice. You want to do it you pay for it.

BC is not a pill to treat a medical condition. What part of that are people not getting. I would think if people are supposed to be MTs they would know this. To compare getting free birth control so that someone can go mess around and not get pregnant is a lot different than someone needing heart medication, diabetes medication, seizure medication. Those are the kind of things health care is suppose to cover. Not someones love pills.

I really don't care how you keep from getting pregnant. That is your choice. There's that word...choice.

I don't use bcp and I'm sure as heck not going to pay for yours and no company should have to pay for someones sexual lifestyle.

To prevent unwanted pregnancies - free birth control is a good thing

[ In Reply To ..]
So here's a question to ProLife conservatives? What's wrong with that? It will hardly raise your premiums at all, and despite what many, MANY posters say, people who use contraception are NOT promiscuous. In fact, President Obama, through more access to contraception, has reduced abortion by 13%.

So is it just sour grapes and "I don't want to pay for you"?

Honestly, we pay millions to the military and people like Dick Cheney who should be in jail, not being supported by our tax dollars, so you cannot find it in your heart to support free contraception and less abortions?

Cheney made a calculated, unwarranted, and unjustified decision to send Americans to slaughter and our expense and for his financial gain. That is immoral and not something a good Christian would do.

If anyone wants to argue that point go for it, but don't accuse me of deflecting. It is consistent with the topic of this thread, morality, Christianity, and what citizens and corporations and business have to pay for, even if it does not comply with their moral standards.

Who pays for smokers' cancer treatment. I don't smoke. Why should I pay for it?

BECAUSE this is the way insurance works. It does not DISCRIMINATE under the ACA.

No one is denying rights to Christians. We all bleed red blood. Don't use it if you don't want to, but don't deny other people the right to attain BC under their INSURANCE.

since many Planned Parenthood clinics have been closed in numerous states thanks to social conservatives on state legislatures.

The fact remains that this isn't an issue of who's going to pay for birth control. It's the fact that the Supreme Court just gave its blessing to companies who want to withhold benefits for certain birth control products from its employees, all in the name of religion (and little science according to many medical experts). Benefits that the majority of women receive through their own health care plans. Sounds discriminatory to me.

The ruling pertains to IUDs and the "morning after" pill, which makes no sense when other methods would still be covered. I guess HL employees would know this going in. The first time my employer scheduled a group prayer meeting (yes, they do this before beginning their shifts) I'd be out of there anyway. I guess my question would be where to draw the line on health coverage - who makes the determination in regard to what is important? Next time it might be someone's chemotherapy. Big questions: Do employers have a right to impact a person's freedom of choice? What happened to the separation of church and state? I don't think canned Christian music in the stores and employee group prayer are what the founding fathers had in mind.

Employers impact too much of our freedoms - already. The time to stop it is NOW.

Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Obama administration announced today that it would not exempt Catholic hospitals from the Affordable Care Act requirement for insurance plans to cover employees’ birth control. The news, which comes on the first day of Trust Women Week, is a welcome victory for feminists.Back in November, feminists were concerned that President Obama might cave in to the Bishops’ pressure ...

Making access to birth control easier for American women is akin to “unrestricted, unlimited sex anytime,” and China’s policy of only allowing one child per couple, according to an abortion “expert” featured on Fox News on Tuesday. Family-PAC Vice President Sandy Rios was invited on Fox’s “America’s Newsroom” to discuss the Obama administration’s order that insurance providers cover birth control at no extra cost. Opposite he ...

Among other dishonest practices, a former manager of the clinics alleges, Planned Parenthood staffers routinely purchased birth control pills for just under $3, billed Medicaid $35 for the same package of pills, and got reimbursed for $26. The lawsuit, brought by Sue Thayer, a 17 ...

Trying to figure out how much this will cost me for my budget. A couple weeks ago I bought 5 applies - they were 3.99/lb and came to $12. (eeks! - they were very good applies - Honeycrisp) I am near broke (no rather I AM broke with a very limited amount of money), but I need to buy another 5 applies. This time I see a sale for Pink Lady apples (another very good apple). These applies are on sale for 1.29 a pound. If I buy 5 of them can someone tell me how much 5 will cost.&nb ...

She's a year and a half old boxer. I kept meaning to get her spayed, but it always got pushed down on the list by other pressing bills and such. I thought since I had a fenced in yard, I would be able to keep any males after her at bay, but apparently there are some sneaky little dawgs out there! Anyway, I have never had a pregnant dog before and I have no idea what to do when the time comes. Do I have to help her deliver? She was in heat towards the end of Septembe ...

I have only catastrophic insurance and have to pay for everything out of pocket. For months my arm has been bothering me. Can't move it out to the side or front (can't even do a full heil hitler salute (LOL). It just won't move and I get pains in the infraspinatus muscle and then shooting pains down the outside of the arms. It doesn't bother me all day, but if I jerk my arm fast, or bump it I get the pains down my arm. Can't lift my arm up o ...

President Obama's reelection campaign is turning a conspiracy theory that had long dogged the president into a snarky fundraising tool, selling merchandise depicting Obama and his complete long form birth certificate. For a $25 donation, you can get a t-shirt that shows a smiling Obama above the phrase, "Made in the U.S.A" on the front, and the president's long-form birth certificate on the back. The campaign is also giving away coffee mugs with the same design scheme to sup ...

Obamacare Medical Device Tax: As of Jan.1, Obamacare imposes a new tax of 2.3 percent on medical device manufacturers, including those who make dental braces. The tax is imposed on gross sales -- even if the company does not earn a profit in a given year. While the tax will be paid to the IRS by the manufacturer, the tax will be passed along as a higher cost of the product, ultimately to be borne by the parent buying the braces for their child. With the cost of braces being as high as $7,625 ...

to make 1 comment about the certificate. It wasn't the birthers that started this. They just ran with it all these years. It was Hillary's camp during the 2008 campaign that started all this, or did you all forget about that? That's all I have to say about that. Now, some facts about why I will not vote for Obama: 1. President Obama promised to close Gitmo. Did he? 2. President Obama promised in March that the Libyan War would be short term? Is it? 3. President Obama promised ...

In other words, congressional Republicans are taking the government’s creditworthiness hostage when they threaten not to increase the debt ceiling. Politically advantageous as this may be, it is terrible economics. To understand why, let us consider the economic effects of last year’s debt-ceiling debate. If we know our history, perhaps we will not be doomed to repeat it. ...

So, I'm one of those people generally don't go to the doctor unless they are spurting blood across the room, but... A couple months ago, I found a lump in my breast, so I made an appointment with a GYN. I went there, they had me leave a urine sample, he felt the lump, wrote me a referral to a breast surgeon and for a mammogram/ultrasound and told me it would definitely need to be biopsied (freaking me out some more) and that was it. I had the mammogram/ultrasound. His office call ...
