NH House passes bill for insurance companies to "opt out" of contraceptive coverage

I weep for my state. http://www.concordmonitor.com/article/315947/birth-control-opt-out-passed

1. Once again repukes are double speaking. They want people to act responsibily

and take care of themselves. Participating in contrception is acting responsibly. If this bill gets finalized, people have fewer choices and may be producing unwanted births, with or without the ability/desire to take care of children. I hope NH is well heeled to handle the needs of the 'results' of this bill's passage. imho

3. seriously, the Ins companies won't bite

contraception is much cheaper than child birth. Costs them much less, they make more.

4. the bill allows EMPLOYERS to opt-out!

the OP headline is misleading --- from the article:

"All employers, not just church organizations, would be able to deny insurance coverage for contraception and sterilization care on religious grounds under a bill that passed the House 196-150 yesterday."

2. Does this mean they can technically opt out of covering Viagra too?

5. I was in the hospital for 5 days with a ruptured ectopic

what is the difference in cost for a script of pills in comparison?
