Is there a convenient place someone could look to find out if that's actually what she's claiming, and the circumstances of the claim?

It seems ridiculous. But having a few exceptional cases in a population is exactly the circumstances where you'd want to use insurance, so I can almost imagine a situation where that would make sense.

Don't care about the Rush part. His job is to deceive and spread hate. Anyone who doesn't understand that needs a remedial class in being human.

3k a year actually...oh, and birth control meds not only in some cases are necessary to keep cancer from developing (uteran and overian cysts) but to help control "that time of the month". You also don't see the irony in calling someone a slut when he goes to South America to buy underaged whores and illegal viagra? You also don't see a thing wrong with the Repubs not allowing WOMEN to testify at a hearing on BIRTH CONTROL? No wonder you've never gotten married.

So why would tax payers want to pay for her screwing around? What ever happen to personal responsability. A condom is a lot cheaper than birth control. Even better, if she doesn't want to take the chance of getting prego, maybe she should keep her twat closed? Hell I would do her with a condom. Just another far left nut wanting someone else to pay for their shit

"...$3000 during law school" is what she said actually. Which looks right on the marker to me. The amount of sex she has doesn't matter, the pill is something you have to take daily regardless.

That being said, I use my insurance to cover my other half's birth control every month. I don't see any problem with it.

It also helps clear up acne, lessen the effects of cramps and so on... Which you can use insurance to cover individually anyways (pain meds, dermatologist vists/meds). So why wouldn't birth control, which does this and more, be covered by the same plans?

Well, according to Derp71ForeverAlone, it's because they're nutty sluts, which is not a lifestyle we need support.

Ah, so you can fuck everything that moves but a woman can't (not that she does...)? Condoms are also nice, but not complete coverage. Birth control also does more than just keeping someone from getting pregers. As for the "far left nut thing", there are women, Republican and Democrat, who are on her side. Do some research, eh?

Oh, and Dex, some reading for you. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/04/op...ef=maureendowd

ffs, I thought I'd read the "agree with Rush" crap from trolls on some political sites, then I see there are actually people believing some of this Fox News/Hot Air/Rush/etc. etc. etc. crap from the local news facebook, and now here on TPG?

I'm getting more and more worried about the United States at this point (unless somehow the base, and republican lawmakers, stop being nuts, or a GOOD third party fills the gap).

Oh, and for those mentioned above, here is a transcript (and some select quotes), go and read it, and then come back here and say it is just about her wanting tax payers to pay for her to have sex, I dare you.

In the worst cases, women who need these medications for other medical conditions suffer very dire consequences.

“A friend of mine, for example, has polycystic ovarian syndrome, and she has to take prescription birth control to stop cysts from growing on her ovaries. Her prescription is technically covered by Georgetown’s insurance because it’s not intended to prevent pregnancy.

“Unfortunately, under many religious institutions and insurance plans, it wouldn’t be. There would be no exception for other medical needs. And under Sen. Blunt’s amendment, Sen. Rubio’s bill or Rep. Fortenberry’s bill there’s no requirement that such an exception be made for these medical needs.

“When this exception does exist, these exceptions don’t accomplish their well-intended goals because when you let university administrators or other employers rather than women and their doctors dictate whose medical needs are legitimate and whose are not, women’s health takes a back seat to a bureaucracy focused on policing her body.

“For my friend and 20% of the women in her situation, she never got the insurance company to cover her prescription. Despite verifications of her illness from her doctor, her claim was denied repeatedly on the assumption that she really wanted birth control to prevent pregnancy. She’s gay. So clearly polycystic ovarian syndrome was a much more urgent concern than accidental pregnancy for her.

“After months paying over $100 out-of-pocket, she just couldn’t afford her medication anymore, and she had to stop taking it.

“I learned about all of this when I walked out of a test and got a message from her that in the middle of the night in her final exam period she’d been in the emergency room. She’d been there all night in just terrible, excruciating pain. She wrote to me, ‘It was so painful I’d woke up thinking I’ve been shot.’

“Without her taking the birth control, a massive cyst the size of a tennis ball had grown on her ovary. She had to have surgery to remove her entire ovary as a result.

I don't have ANY problem with medication prescribed for actual medical purposes. I do have a problem if they are being prescribed for birth control, and I have to pay for it.

Step back you little fuck. You don't know me, so don't pretend to. If you can't handle a civil conversation in a public forum without slinging personal insults, maybe you need a break. I suggest you take one.
