| 1 | "This is what a war on women looks like."I don't think you get just how expensive having a baby is, and that our healthcare system was balanced to leave the entire cost related to gestation on women of childbearing age before the ACA mandate. You had to buy a premium plan to have maternity benefits. Birth control was generally partially covered. There is great effort to make it that way again... Only more expensive because of rising healthcare premiums. And the general argument here is that it's "fair"... It may seem fair in an offhand… | /r/MensRights | 10/10/17 08:30 PM |
| -1 | "This is what a war on women looks like."Having women aged 16 to 37 carry the entire financial burden of continuing the human race a little bit sexist? The mandates related to Women's Healthcare from the ACA changed that. Fertility healthcare is a societal issue. Making it more expensive to have a uterus IS sexist. | /r/MensRights | 10/10/17 07:26 PM |
| 1 | "This is what a war on women looks like."I really do think that the access to contraceptives is/should be a right and moving away from that is an attack on the fundamental human autonomy that we can easily afford as a society. I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND that my perspective on the matter is probably colored by gender and political divides and I appreciate that you have a different perspective. I really do see the health care mandate as a step towards recognizing that right.. and removing the mandate removes that right.. So it's an attack o… | /r/MensRights | 10/10/17 06:30 PM |
| 0 | "This is what a war on women looks like."I think it might be a breakdown of gender AND poltical perspectives between what is considered a right and what is considered a privilege. Being in control of my fertility equipment is something I consider of paramount importance to my autonomy. Some people think it's a privilege, but after seeing how dangerous it is to have a baby, not even to mention how expensive and life changing it can be, I really do consider being able to NOT have a baby a right. Our society is fully capable of achieving … | /r/MensRights | 10/10/17 05:20 PM |
| – | "This is what a war on women looks like."I really did type in 40 then changed it because I prefer to be wrong when doing simple math. LOL. Yeah. The stuff I'm reading in the comments is a lot more... Accepting about legal equality being a positive impact of the rollback when in reality the rollback hurts men and women. Families pool their money. Health care progress isn't always gender neutral. Just look at the HPV vaccine. Originally it wasn't covered for males because males can't get cervical cancer, so it doesn't increase lifespan, … | /r/MensRights | 10/10/17 05:07 PM |
| – | "This is what a war on women looks like."It's not, though. Only a few states allow women over-the-counter style access to the pill. Most women have to do a yearly visit to the gyno to get a prescription, and a lot of gynos still require a yearly pap and screening. Getting a lab bill in the mail from a pap is the same as a mortgage payment. It's not quite as cheap as you make it out to be. Not to mention the $1million investment in free birth control saves $430million every year. | /r/MensRights | 10/10/17 04:16 PM |
| – | "This is what a war on women looks like."This is not a zero sum game. When women get birth control covered every $1 spent on birth control saves $4. Men should absolutely receive the same thing. Realize that it took a full 70 years from when birth control became available on the market before a law established that insurers must make that investment. (1960, the pill becomes available. 2010 the ACA mandate is signed) Men's ability to control their fertility ABSOLUTELY should be invested in, unfortunately fertility is a hot button social… | /r/MensRights | 10/10/17 04:09 PM |
