Insurance Covering Birth Control

Posted under Rants by admin (Who am I?)

Ok, I’ve been on a ton of different insurances in California and Nevada. So far, I’ve never had one insurance NOT cover birth control. I agree that birth control is a very important issue, and something that any woman who wants it, should be able to get it. But is that really a presidential candidate question? Is it an issue that belongs in the government forum at all?

As a Libertarian, I say no. The government has no place to say to insurance companies what medicines that they will or won’t cover. That should be market place driven. If your company has insurance that doesn’t cover birth control, get together with the other employees and talk to your managers and executives about it. Give them some reasons to change the insurance plans, so that you get insurance that DOES cover birth control. Then, when enough companies and individuals stop buying plans that do not cover birth control, those companies will either change their policies or go out of business!

No matter what else you try to do to a big corporation, the best way to get their attention is through their wallets! The last thing we need is MORE government telling companies what they can and can’t do. That’s what drives them and their jobs out of the country.Technorati Tags: birth control, mccain, election, president, government, laws, insurance, health, coverage
