People Take Birth Control

Posted: Mar 4, 2012

Not just to prevent pregnancy - To regulate menstrual cycles, as treatment for other female problems, menopause issues etc. These are many medical reasons for taking birth control, not just to prevent pregnancy. Am I missing something? Because I think that birth control should be looked at as another method of treatment for female problems not just a means of preventing pregnancy. i.e. a woman who has ovarian cancer gets a hysterectomy and afterwards needs hormone replacement so her physician prescribes that in the form of an oral contraceptive. Could examples like this be part of what all the debate is about?;

So take it,,,why should I pay for it ? - Thats the problem

Nobody cares who takes BC and for what..the controversy is why a president is telling a private industry how to condut their business..not the governments job and not mine to pay for it as a tax payer..I always got BC with a copayment through my insurance..whats the big hoot..its a non-issue that is being put out there as a distraction

You're not paying for it. Government's role - nm

in this mess is merely to get certain companies to allow their insurance to provide it. This isn't about Medicaid or state aid or anything like that. You're not out a penny if someone's insurance company pays for their birth control OR their Viagra.

Obamacare 's plan is to - weed out the old people

Obama cares not one hoot for the elderly or baby's for that matter since Obama voted on a bill as a senator to perform infanticide (bill was to put to death any baby that survived an abortion attempt; look it up. Could not possibly care less about those that scream about links, posting, credibilty, blah, blah, balh). Yeah, real merciful. His plan and his HHS secretary - want to get rid of anyone that they deem undesirable. I'd like to nominate those 2 to be at the top of the list. They are about a undesirable as you can get.

Under Obamacare Medicare is completely eviscerated for ALL Medicare enrollees by 2015-2016 depending on study and number of people enrolling. At that point, all prior Medicare people are FORCED into Medicaid; real generous of Obama (not). Ryan actually keeps Medicare in place for all people 55 and above exactly as it is now. People 55 and under have insurance OPTION, allowing them to select the level of care THEY want, not what Obama FORCES n them.

Clear you have no idea what is in Obamacare as directives for elderly in nursing homes (especially state run), the directives of elderly 72 and older that develop cancer, the restrictions on care for the elderly at the sole discrection of the government. You sound every bit as uninformed as the flamers on here that have no idea what is coming. But, do your drive bys. Must serve you better than actually educating yourself on Obamacare through any source other than CNN or other lib stations.

Ditto - people have been birth control

[ In Reply To ..]
from their private insurace with a co-pay for years. Why now all of a sudden are they saying its the taxpayers paying for it.

I think the problem is, the republicans dont think the insurance companies should have to cover it and somehow they are throwing religion in there as if its unbiblical to take birth control or something.

Dont quote me, but thats what I am getting out of all this. People are always hollering about their tax dollars taking care of lazy people and if they really knew the full story, half the programs that are in place for the poor dont give them jack squat.

All that changed back when Clinton was in office with "welfare reform". People no longer can just go and sign up for food stamps and medical cards. Why do you think there are so many out there uninsured right now?

If they loose their jobs and no insurance, that does not qualify them for medical card (government assistance), basically they are just SOL and thats one of the reasons for healthcare reform.

Loosing insurance or being unable to afford it can happen to anyone, it doesn't make you a lazy person.

Uhm your reading it wrong..sorry - GOPer

[ In Reply To ..]
The GOP doesnt give a rats tail about birth control pills..The GOP doesnt believe it is the governments role to FORCE a private industry to do anything..And it is not the governments role to tell a private company what to do...And under Clinto,,,the driving force for welfare reform was Gingrich..And somewhere along those lines, it is now easier to get on welfare and easier to get food stamps..I was OFFERED them..because I make squat working this job..But I also have a really good disability retirement from a job where I got hurt..I wouldnt take them regardless,,just saying..Got a letter in the mail saying your eligible heres what to do,,

Those thinking this is about BC and not faith have no uderstanding of the ramnifactions of what Obama is doing to the First Amendment until they are FORCED to do something under Obamacare that they are 100% against. This is a definite infringement on all people of faith, as well as churches and a violation of the first amendment. What you do personally with your faith, and whether your adhere to your church's teachings is strictly between you and God. It is the church's obligation to lay out how your faith is to be honored and practiced without any government involvement. If any woman does not choose to follow their church's directions, that choice is solely the woman's and no one elses. Her privacy is intact and she answers to no one regarding her choice. No priest, rabbi, pastor shows up at her home demanding proof she is following church teachings. Yet the government does exactly that under Obamacare, if you do not do exactly what Obama decides you should follow, regardless of how offensive it may be to you on a personal faith basis. Priests, pastors, rabbis, reverends and clergy can guide you as to the faith beliefs, but they cannot force you to practice them. Again, Obamacare forces churches to go directly against their beliefs. Government has no constitutional standing to force any religion to do what government wants. Nor does government have a constitutional standing to force insurance companies to provide that either. That is exactly why America was founded. It was a direct result of the monarchy FORCING the public to follow religious beliefs the government stated were acceptable or face persecution and/or beheading (ever hear of Henry VIII ?)

Just another perspective, what if Obama decides that any woman over the age of 30 needs to have her tubes tied or a hysterectomy? What if Obama decides all men over 30 need to have vasectomies or a prostatectomy? And then Obama argues the health benefits of each procedure, solely from Obama's viewpoint. Those procedure will control birth, can have health advanatages for certain individuals, but WE can make that choice or not. What if Obama decides to argue the "health benefits" of forcing those things on you, for your own good, regarding those procedures or face a fine, penalty or imprisonment (that is also written into Obamacare for certain "infractions determined by the HHS"). Takes on a whole different smell when the government forces those upon you, rather than you and your significant other deciding what is best for your situation. Sounds a whole lot like a dictator to me (and many others).

You are acting like Obama is FORCING...sm - oldtimer

women to use birth control. He wants it to be made AVAILABLE to women via their health insurance (for which they pay upwards of $300 a month) in case they CHOOSE to use it. It sounds like freedom me. The fact is that 95% of women use BCPs for one reason or another during their lifetimes.

It strikes me funny that just a few days ago GOPers on this board were advocating tubal ligations, vasectomies and frontal lobotomies for certain people. These same people don't want fast and furious copulating and birthing by the poor, you wold think that requiring woman on public assistance to take BCPs wouldn't be far behind.

Covering a medical need under insurance has nothing to do with being forced to have a hysterectomy or vasectomy. whats with the obsession with sex organs lady?
It is just crazy to leap from paying for a pill (just like a diabetes pill or schizophrenia (hint hint) pill to claiming you are going to be forced to have your junk tampered with. Throw in a few steps in between your extremes.

how is qualifying for disability retirement different from qualifying for food stamps?

There is a HUGE difference. - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
I'm disabled and went through all this, so I speak from personal experience.

When I could no longer work, I received AND (Aid to Needy and Disabled) income of $200.00 per month while I was waiting for my Social Security hearing, which took two years, and these $200.00 payments were paid back to the agency down to the last penny.

Applying for food stamps depends on your income and the number of dependents you have. If you're eligible, you receive it pretty soon and don't have to wait for two years to challenge them.

Applying for Social Security Disability is a long, tedious process filled with a roughly a thousand pages of medical records, bills, etc. A hearing is usually required, and that takes a very long time to schedule.

Hope this helps.

good point, thanks for explaining - yes, of course

There are rules on it, and it all has to be turned in to the Social Security people, but it is possible, and legal, to do this.

working on disability - Yes - legal

[ In Reply To ..]
My father went through this too. While on disability, he worked a specific job with limited activities, etc. He did that until he just could not work any longer, and it was impacting his health further. You'll never see this entitlement generation, though, go through trying to keep a job and provide for their families...they just want everyone else to pay. Glad you got your disability issues resolved.

You better pull out the Obamacare 2700 page monstrosity. You ARE paying for it. I am sick and tired of paying for every lazy you know what that wants a hand out, and is is too lazy to care of themselves. There are far more slackers and very, very few poor people in this country. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY ANYBODY'S BCP, ABORTIONS, ETC., AND RESENT OBAMA AND HIS REGIME FOR FORCING IT and having them sticking their nose in everbody's crotch. Pay for it yourself.

What part of INSURANCE coverage - are you not getting?

[ In Reply To ..]
We are talking about EMPLOYERS whose benefit packages include prescription drug coverage being required to cover BCP on those policies. The employees, whether they are women or men with eligible wives and/or daughters who opt for family coverage, PAY for their insurance premiums. The government does NOT. Not all employers offer prescription drug coverage as part of their benefits package. I'm reasonably certain I heard on one of the newscasts (don't remember which one) about a week ago that those who do not WILL NOT be required to do so.

If you are so familiar with PPACA, why not cite the section you claim states taxpayers are paying for slackers and lazy "you know whats" abortions and BCPs? You didn't because you can't since they're not.

Here's a piece of news for ya. You do not have to be among those alleged "very, very few poor people" not to be able to afford health insurance. There are plenty of working folks who cannot afford it. Some of them are working more than one job and STILL can't afford the premiums, mostly because low-income and middle class wages and salaries have remained stagnant ever since Reagan took office. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, insurance premiums increased 218% between 1980 and 1993. A little number crunching tells us that is an average of 16.7% per year. That means if the rate of increase in insurance premiums remained about the same since then (1993), then the total increase in premiums between 1980 and now has been somewhere around a whopping 518%....against essentially stagnant wages. Got it?

Your slackers, lazy "you know whats" and hand-outs comment tells me you are too ill-informed to grock any real information on this subject and that you prefer to cling to your expressed class warfare prejudices. I refuse to argue with that kind of ignorance, so as far as I am concerned, you can stay sick and tired. My guess is most of that disease is coming from the sheer energy drain it requires to harbor and nurture that kind of hateful world view over long periods of time.

As for your crude crotch remark, something tells me you have no problem with government intrusion when it comes to dictating women's family planning options and I would not be the least bit surprised to discover that you are A-OK with taxpayers footing the bill for ramming a transvaginal probe up the anterior chute where the sun don't shine of every woman who decides to terminate a pregnancy.

[ In Reply To ..]
Neither can their relation to one another, nor the conlusions ones draws from them. Like thinking and reasoning, depending on the audience and subject at hand, political rhetoric often must be expressed in an organized, logical sequence before presenting a conlusive statement if it is to posess any semblance of credibility. Yes, some of us DO care about a that.

IMO, insightful and productive debate requires this type of presentation before it can occur. You can't just get up and clobber your audience over the head with your ideas or beliefs, then leave, and expect them to simply dance to your tune.

What part of - FORCING coverage

[ In Reply To ..]
do you not understand? Try reading the definition of FORCE. Maybe then you will grasp the concept. HHS secretary admitted last week this had nothing to do with insurance, but CONTROLLING BIRTH by the government.

insurance works (sold it for years and then worked the healthcare side) I don't understand why people feel so strongly that BC should be mandated to be covered when there are so many other drugs that companies don't pay for. Why is no one screaming that there are pretty much no insurance companies that will provide coverage for 24-hour antihistamines or how lucky you are if you can get a PPI now. I have seen people have to take out loans for life-saving medications, and we are worrying about whether or not people have birth control paid for by their insurance. The cost of birth control really isn't a lot different than what a good portion of people pay as copays on other regular medications.

As for the low and middle-class families that can't afford insurance premium, I am not surprised by this. I used to work in a rural health clinic, and there were those who were offered insurance but simply could not afford it. I just wonder how many of those will be able to handle when they have no choice but to pay for insurance.

The whole point for most is not whether or not it is BC or forced health insurance. It is about a choice. I have no problem with birth control at all. I feel like this is all a political strategy to get things started right before election.

Excellent post. Obama picked this fight specifically because of the election, and spun it into something it was not to try to shore up his base. Unfortunately, for Obama, he got a push back he was not expecting. Heard yesterday there are 78 million Catholic voters.
