Can anyone answer a question about Birth Control and Payments and all the controversy

2. Here's why last week's announcement isn't going over

Simply declaring that insurance companies will pay the cost of contraception is nonsense. When an insurer is calculating how much to charge in negotiations with the Catholic institution, they're going to take into account the strong chance that many will indeed want birth control drugs and devices. They're going to factor that in.

Imagine if a government wanted to provide free bread to its citizens, and simply required all grocers to supply a free loaf of bread to every shopper once a week. You know those stores would figure out quickly how much bread they'd be giving away, and everything else in the store would rise by whatever it took to cover that cost. Of course, people who didn't want bread (celiac disease, or something like that) would be paying higher prices for bread that they weren't getting.
