There are many, many government mandated coverages. And many of those have been sponsored or promoted by Republicans. I know that they are very common at the state level.
It is a bad idea no matter who proposes the legislation.
On principal I would never work for a company that had ideals that differed so far from mine. So if you want an employer that covers things like this, why wouldn't you just find one?
Because of political correctness, the entire argument is flawed. Birth control is cheap. It is a non issue. This is about distraction. Something that both parties are all too familiar with. It has nothing to do with facts.
What typically happens with mandated coverages is that some group, with a powerful voice in the legislature, convinces enough to vote for their interest because, if private insurance were offered to cover just it, or a constellation of things that included it, the cost would be prohibitive.
David Letterman can call Sarah Palin a slut on national TV.
No problemo.
Bill Maher (who donated a million $$ to the Obama PAC)
can regularly use the 'C' word to describe Sarah Palin.
No problemo.
But don't call a liberal a slut, all hell is going to be raised.
As far as I'm concerned, all progressives are sluts or worse.

I'm just glad that these sponsors finally decided to demonstrate their moral authority. I am confident these sponsors will act accordingly in the future when other commentators make equally inappropriate comments. Surely this isn't convenient grandstanding, right?
You are typing to someone who was a managed care director for about 15 years.....
The fact remains that birth control is cheap...and that this entire argument is ridiculous. Santorum and Rush both bear responsibility for handling it like blabbering idiots. I don't expect much more from either one of them most of the time anyway...
For the Neocons who are cancelling subscriptions in protest of a talk radio show host losing several sponsors; do any of your wives or people you know take birth control? Doesn't taking birth control make them a slut, by Rush's definition? So, if you answered "yes" to the first question, how can you not answer "yes" to the second one? I never said your wives were prostitutes, because this forum is crawling with millionaires and sell outs, so they don't need to whore themselves out to Uncle Sam to get their birth control, but I'm pretty sure if they do take da B.C., even if they pay for it themselves, they are still sluts. C'mon, let's get it all out there; who's married to a slut?
Jesus, you are a hopeless man. I used to really like your posts because you're a pot stirrer like myself but that post was so putrid, I don't even wanna quote, so i don't get any of your woman-hate on me.
Govt luvin pan zI don't know, it seems to me that the ones who can't afford b.c. are the ones who shouldn't be having kids, because, statistically, they are more likely to need welfare and food stamps, which would be an even larger tax burden than some birth control pills.
You can frame that post as the most conservative thing I've ever typed on here.
