*Pathetic.

*How embarrassing for the daughters.

*Everyone who thinks Missouri has the dumbest politicians, raise their hands.


*Well, then, since we're in the silly season, how 'bout this as a compromise: the insurance company lets him off the hook for contraception in exchange for tripling his deductible on any coverage for pregnancy, labor or childbirth.

Deal?



*So opt out of the insurance, then. Simple. Good grief, man.
Totally agree

*This idiot couldn't care less about his insurance. He's just trying to get his 15 minutes of fame!


*Bingo

*Insureds do not pay extra to buy the contraceptive coverage. It will actually cost more to eliminate it. That is: How many pills equal the cost of one birth for the insurance company.
Also, the biggest preventative to abortion is the pill. Which is more immoral

*You're not required to use a covered item/service just because it's part of your plan. Maybe I'm not understanding their claim. What if your daughter suffers from painful menstrual cycles or extreme bleeding causing anemia or other health problems? I guess you wouldn't let her physician prescribe hormone therapy because it could also be used as birth control, you'd just let her suffer. if you're not having sex, birth control pills don't prevent pregnancy, they're just hormone therapy. There are a lot of things my insurance covers that I wouldn't use or don't agree with, but I don't cancel my insurance, I just don't use those features.

*Conservatives are obsessed with sex They want to control the lives of others.
