Here's the actual transcript of what Ms. Fluke said:
Transcript: Sandra Fluke testifies on why women should be allowed access to contraception and reproductive health care | What The Folly?!
Compare that to what Limbaugh CLAIMS she said.
I agree with the president's policy...
But she chose to go to a Catholic University. She should have known what the rules were when she signed up.
It seems to me that if she was so concerned about this, there were plenty of universities that had family planning coverage she should have gone to. Whinging about it now is kind of silly.
Sandra Fluke was not arguing for herself, but for a friend with cancer who is prescribed contraception as part of her cancer therapy...medication which is not covered by the student's health insurance policy.
A couple things here. She also argued for the right of women to have access to contraception for actual contraception.
No one told her that her friend couldn't have it for valid medical purposes. And he friend had the option of purchasing a plan that covered that, or working for an employer who provided it.
I mean, seriously, we aren't even talking about employers here, we are talking about student health plans, aren't we?
Here's the underlying problem with ObamaCare (and RomneyCare). It's trying to say, "Trust me, we are really preserving the private insurance system, we aren't doing socialized medicine!" But then you load on so many requirements and mandates and even take away choices on religious things, you've pretty much just turned health care into a public utility, haven't you?
