I've had stellar luck with Kaiser, despite what people have told me about their experiences. I've run into a few pretty nasty health issues since being onboard at KP, and each time, I have been dealt with in a kind, caring and yet reassuringly high-tech and forward-thinking manner.
When I developed a rash from an antibiotic my KP provider supplied, all of my follow-up care was covered. When I had to go to the ER for a fever, I only had to pay a $150 copay. My birth control pills are deeply discounted ($41 for two months, for a name brand, not a generic. Killer.). And all preventative care is covered %100, no copay required.
What I'm laughing at, Dragon...is that if you READ Fluke's testimony...she admits that her "friend" IS covered for that prescription under Georgetown's health insurance policy.
You still don't get it at all.
Look, remember Martin Luther King's famous speech, the "I have a dream" speech? In that speech, he talked about a world where one day his children would be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
Now, is it your impression that he was talking ONLY about his kids? If somehow a special dispensation against the provisions of Jim Crow could have been issued to the King family, do you think he'd have been satisfied with that? Or do you think maybe, just maybe, he was trying to accomplish something for ALL African-Americans?
If you can make that mind-stretch in regard to King and civil rights, why can't you make it in regard to Fluke and reproductive rights? Whether you agree with her or not, can't you see that whether SHE HERSELF can afford birth control and family planning services DOESN'T MEAN SQUAT?
I'm having a hard time figuring out what Ms. Fluke is even talking about in regards to her friend with ovarian cysts, Dragon. She brings her up as this "example" of how badly women are being treated by Georgetown's healthcare plan but then turns around and admits in passing that woman IS covered...but she "represents" other women who might not be. Come on...are you kidding me? Good luck to Fluke if she ever tries to take silly shit like that into a court of law...she'll get laughed out of court.
And between you and me? Bringing up the civil rights struggle that MLK led in comparison to THIS is almost laughable. You want me to make a "mind-stretch" on that?
Or from getting it free from any of the family planning clinics in her area.
The point here is that the OP (presumably) argued that because Fluke was able to afford a trip to Spain, she, personally, herself herself, does not need to have her contraceptives covered on her insurance. Regardless of any other considerations, regardless of whether you agree with Fluke that insurance companies should be required to cover contraceptives, her own personal situation is completely irrelevant and that argument is utterly bogus, because Fluke is seeking benefits for ALL WOMEN, not for HERSELF PERSONALLY.
That's all I'm saying.

Are there family planning clinics in every city of the United States?

"they cant afford to take the bus to get free birth control"

Oh, you DIE IN A FLOOD.
Yes, truly you are smarter than them.

There are county health departments in every county, and those county health departments all have access to free contraception.
Anyway, logical fallacy. Has nothing to do wtih anything.
I attend a Jesuit law school that does not provide contraceptive coverage in its student health plan. And just as we students have faced financial, emotional, and medical burdens as a result, employees at religiously-affiliated hospitals and institutions and universities across the country have suffered similar burdens.
