The Rethuglican lie about "coverage" of contraceptives [View all]

[deminks]

I'm listening to Morning Jerk try so hard to make the contraceptive ruling an issue. He is so desperate for an issue and thinks he has got one now for his buds.

He's lying. Don't fall down from the shock.

I don't know of a business in America that provides direct health coverage out of their own bank account for their employees. I may be wrong, but I don't know of any. They buy employee packages from insurance companies. It's those insurance companies and their packages that must cover contraceptives, whether they are bought by a hospital or a hamburger shack. This administration's ruling is no more intrusive to a hospital than it is to the hamburger shack.

It's the same argument that Karen Handel made against Planned Parenthood- that she ditched them because they don't provide direct mammograms. No doctor's office provides mammograms on site. They do referrals, just like Planned Parenthood. She lied. They lied.

Edited to add:

Employees don't get their medications from the hospital or the hamburger shack, either. They have to go to a pharmacy.
