ROFLMAO to your assertion "every full-term baby is a choice." Brickbat Oct 2013 #47

It is a choice. Adults should be responsible for it. darkangel218 Oct 2013 #52

If every pregnancy is a choice, consider the fetus a dependent and that should help you make sense Brickbat Oct 2013 #90

A fetus wasn't always a fetus. darkangel218 Oct 2013 #102

As pointed out in another thread, prostate exams are done in yearly physicals Lars39 Oct 2013 #67

Further exams are not covered. darkangel218 Oct 2013 #73

Um, no that mammo on a 29 yo breast would not be free or very low cost. Lars39 Oct 2013 #80

That's not a screening mammogram. That's a diagnostic mammogram. I assume it's not free. kestrel91316 Oct 2013 #263

It should be a choice but for far too many it is not MadrasT Oct 2013 #54

Are you aware that men dont get free screenings for breast and prostate cancer under the ACA? darkangel218 Oct 2013 #55

Let me make this clear... cynatnite Oct 2013 #82

You are wrong about that. Lars39 Oct 2013 #86

A simple exam cant determine / diagnose cancer. darkangel218 Oct 2013 #92

The PSA does more harm than good. cynatnite Oct 2013 #95

No, but that exam can find a mass, at which point diagnostic testing IS covered, dipshit. kestrel91316 Oct 2013 #267

being a woman is not a choice and medical care should cover all aspects of healthcare. nt La Lioness Priyanka Oct 2013 #285

Being a woman doesn't immediately means pregnancy or giving birth. darkangel218 Oct 2013 #312

one is part and parcel of healthcare of the other. just like prostate related issues are healthcare La Lioness Priyanka Oct 2013 #328

So you're against maternity care, and FOR GUNS. How about taxes? DevonRex Oct 2013 #296

Im not against maternity care. I just think it should be optional since there is no free coverage darkangel218 Oct 2013 #315

So there has to be free coverage for every single kind of cancer screening gollygee Oct 2013 #319

No its not! blood tests are fairly inexpensive , and a lot cheaper darkangel218 Oct 2013 #321

Many cancer screening tests are free, including a screening for prostate cancer gollygee Oct 2013 #324

Prostate cancer is very prevelant among men, FYI. darkangel218 Oct 2013 #330

Prostate cancer screening is free gollygee Oct 2013 #331

Diagnostic testing is covered, toots. It's not automatically FREE, but it is subject to kestrel91316 Oct 2013 #373

But you said men shouldn't pay for maternity care since carrying to term is a choice. DevonRex Oct 2013 #379
