Medicaid has covered Viagra since the 1990s. Funny, I don't hear you whining about how we all have to pay for men to get it up...

No, because its cheaper to self insure when one can afford it. I have saved thousands not buying petty insurance when I can afford to insure myself with savings. Didn't you figure that personal finance detail out?

There is nothing I can do to get away from the vast majority of resource mismanagement experts in the macro economy, as it clear from the dialog I have had with them. They would not so much as read long paragraph on a complex subject yet feel at liberty to offer their ....uh hard to describe. Then the likes of you want to get into personal fiances where you are equally incompetent.

Do you buy those warranty extension plans too ?


So you want da guberment to force da socialism so that I can join da dolts in their resource mismanagement. Since we disagree and obviously want nothing to do with each other, doesn't it make sense to part ways? Oh but no you want agents to follow me around and force me to "contribute". Where does it end? Don't people need food more than birth control? Don't I need fresh water? Da guberment needs to take care of every need?

If people had to pay and be responsible for their children, they would certainly be very interested investing in birth control.

I covered that when I complained about the prescription drug benefit when the boomers decided that now is the time for da guberment to pay, now that they want to pop some pills.

Gizmo, I was only explaining that I am partly disabled with a trashed back, but you took it to mean I received some form of workers comp. I don't. i got screwed over by the labor board because a surgeon mentioned using shark cartilage as an alternate to metal cages and 3 screws. I never got any of that. The obese lawyers on the tribunal went off on the suggestion of shark cartilage as if it were heresy, since the idea was new in 87.

So all I ever got was deny after deny with no stated reasons to discover any job apps were the same deny, and so I have made my own way ever since and I for one want no part of any tax that steals from me to give to someone i will never know.

If i must i will quit working and stop with my 1099 in order to do so and i sure can go back to living in the National Forest and forget mankind. I already have 3 full years straight of that counting winters. So it's not like i can't do it again.

The way things look out there on the political landscape now, it appears I could have a lot more company than i had last time, and most of that company to me would be unwelcome.


Every day I hear of small business owners trying to understand how they can keep their business open and still cover the fast and high rising costs. The facts they are facing is they can't.

This economy under the hands of the leftist elite, which by the way i didn't consider you to be one of, is like a run away train, with the throttle jammed full speed ahead, and no engineer at the helm.

A few more bumps a curve or 2, and this train is gonna wreck.

Then the HAVE NOTS amongst us will really start to suffer.

Cheaper when accounting for the externality?

Didn't say condoms were more effective. The most effective methods are sterilazation and abstinance. Then Implants (Norplant), Injectables (Depo-Provera), IUD, Pill, Male Condom, Diaphragm, Withdrawal, Rythym Method, Female Condom, Spemicides, Vagianl Sponge.

Yes it was. Democrats came out of nowhere and said if Rick Santorum was elected he would outlaw contraception. Even though he never said he would or voted on anything of the sort. But facts don't matter to Democrats. After Rick dropped out, Democrats just changed the lie to say all Republicans wanted to outlaw contraception. What a bunch of bs.

It's a non-issue. Capitalists have been providing cheap, effective birth control for anyone adult that wants it. For decades. As long as they are making a profit they will continue to do so.

And mark my words. As long as Republican lawmakers have teenage daughters and granddaughters birth control and abortion will be legal. Book it.

I do not believe that Insurance should provide birth control, vigra, cialis for recreational sex. I DO believe however, that if you have a MEDICAL condition that requires these meds, then by all means they should be prescribed and covered, no questions asked.
How about BC for women who, for medical purposes, would not be able to have a healthy pregnancy. One such condition would be severe diabetes or kidney failure.
