Mitch McConnell Wants Vote On Birth Control Mandate

I'm 61, don't use checkups, tests or drugs, and I won't pay for those who do. Articles here pitch contracept

­ion as a benefit, but it costs employers more and they take it out of workers pay. It's why wages haven't gone up in 30 years, they went to pay for increasing medical coverage. Now the average family policy costs $14K, and the retired and self-emplo­yed can't afford it - but ACA forces us to buy it. Not insurance, a plan that covers everything except cosmetic surgery and sex changes - and those will be next.

Original Medicare and private insurance didn't cover drugs, never mind contracept­ion or abortion. The idea that "access" means "free" is new, and beyond absurd. Women have a right to birth control and abortion, not to have someone else pay for it. Surely we have a right to free food and shelter well before drugs and medical care. But that would be welfare, so instead we get free drugs.

This is my response to the comment posted at the link above. However, the responses that everyone else made were so much more impressive. Check the link above to see what I am referring to.

What about the 28 states that already have this requiremen­t or the 8 that don't allow churches out of that requiremen­t. Everything you stated has already been debunked in science and the many comments posted here. That said, if Republican­s want to run on "contracep­tion" then I'm sure that is a fight the Democrats would love to have. The majority of Americans understand the importance of contracept­ion along with the medical necessity of it in a lot of instances.
