yeahhhh how is this more okay? -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 10, 11:43 11
- You get the same coverage as everyone else at no added cost to you. Or your institution. -- nm - TWuG Feb 10, 11:52
- contraceptives are not included in the employer-sponsored health coverage. - TFox Feb 10, 11:46 9
  - I thought it was actually a really elegant work around. Yes, church, you don't have to pay for it if it offends your religion. But individuals still - pmb Feb 10, 11:51 8
    - wouldn't that mean that atheists will end up having to pay a little more to cover the added overhead and that is a tactic support of their beliefs? - zeitgeist Feb 10, 12:03 2
      - copays zeitgeist pays. -- nm - TFox Feb 10, 12:07 1
        
        Sorry, tourette's = not covered -- nm - Blue Atheist Feb 10, 12:08
    - but that means the world still isn't the way it should be! -- nm - the church Feb 10, 11:56
    - it is. it's on the backs of the insurers which no one will mind, but the insurers also realize that from a cost perspective this is a non-factor. - TFox Feb 10, 11:52 3
      - Insurers actually save money by preventing pregnancies. -- nm - mara Feb 10, 11:56 1
        
        that's a less obvious calculation than it seems on its face, but yes in principle. -- nm - TFox Feb 10, 11:58
      - also, birth control pills are cheaper than babies. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 11:56
