Seems there are many, many reasons birth control pills are proscribed to women. They are not just for birth control. Should it be denied?

How far should this go? If employers can decide treatment for women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, why shouldn't they be allowed to decide which medicines their employees can take for all medical conditions?

Who cares? It's what "doctor's proscribe" that's important? Ammirite?

 

[Antares]

LOL, Fluke and Candycorn can recycle their own fucking condom's.

If you want to spend that much time on your back pay for it yourself.

 

[Noomi]

Good point. If a woman needs birth control to control her periods - which means less time off work sick - then why shouldn't the employer cover her for it? Many women use birth control for reasons that have nothing to do with birth control.

First you ask: Should employers be allowed to decide ALL medicines you can take and not just some?
Then you post about the 'perks' of taking BC.
Now you've switched to "doctor's proscribe" [sic] without answering my question.

So, what is the real question you're asking rdean?

 

[rightwinger]

Why would anyone want their employer to make medicals decisions for them?

 

[Vox]

rdean: blah-blah-blah, yada-yada-yada

you can take any pills you want.
Just pay for them YOURSELF.

problem solved.

 

[Vox]

contraception is NOT medical decision.

It is lifestyle decision.

Employers don't decide what pills you can take. They only decide what they will pay for. You can take any pill your doctor will prescribe for you, or that you can buy off the street. DUH.

Good question how far will a putz like yourself twist the truth?

Nothing is stopping you from taking your birth control pills.

 

[Politico]

They shouldn't be deciding shit. They're not doctors.

 

[Noomi]

contraception is NOT medical decision.

It is lifestyle decision.

Not if you are using birth control to control your own health - not for borth control.

Pregnant women take time off to have children. Not productive workers. Maybe they should make the pill mandatory as long as they are controlling their reproductive rights

#1 -
A number of studies suggest that current use of oral contraceptives (birth control pills) appears to slightly increase the risk of breast cancer, especially among younger women. However, the risk level goes back to normal 10 years or more after discontinuing oral contraceptive use.

Oral contraceptive use is associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer; however, this increased risk may be because sexually active women have a higher risk of becoming infected with human papillomavirus, which causes virtually all cervical cancers.
Women who take oral contraceptives have an increased risk of benign liver tumors, but the relationship between oral contraceptive use and malignant liver tumors is less clear.

Getting pregnant is a medical condition

What is "lifestyle" about having sex?

I thought everyone did it

 

[Derideo_Te]

Should a male CEO be allowed to exclude maternity benefits since he won't need them himself?

Should a female CEO be allowed to exclude viagra since she doesn't need it?

Has anyone stopped and considered how much more it will cost if the HMO's have to provide special plans for every combination of religious beliefs? And should they be offering a special plan for Christian Scientists that is just a free library card?

But let's get serious here, exactly how much control should a CEO have over your personal healthcare? Will you be required to disclose your medical history to the corporation as a condition of hire? Will women have to provide an affidavit stating that they have never had an abortion? Will CEO's get to decide that you don't need a heart bypass because it is cheaper to just let you die and hire someone else instead?

At what point do we hand over our constitutional right to privacy to corporations? If the SCOTUS decides in favor of the plaintiffs in these cases your right to privacy will be history.

 

[Rozman]

If an employer is paying for or paying part of an employees cost for health care they should at least
have a say in how that money is spent.

 

[Rozman]

And Sandra Fluke should always have to pay for her own BC...
