Obamacare makes single men pay for maternity coverage, but not 25 year old women!

The underlying wsj article is vague and ambiguous, it seems likely under 30 year old healthy women and men won't have to buy maternity coverage, but yes, you are correct, it is possible that some number of 25 year old women will not have to purchase maternity care -- and will not be covered for maternity care either until their catastrophic plan kicks in.

Does anyone have any numbers as to how much maternity care will add to all plans?

The only issue I as a single man have for coverage of maternity care is that by spreading it across everyone equally it takes away a natural reason for women and families to practice birth control.

When there is an extra cost to maternity care, women and families do think twice about having that next kid.

That's maternity care. For similar reasons, it should be obvious that for most people, birth control (the pill, rubbers) should be available cheaply, to keep unwanted families down, and yes goddamn it viagra and women's viagra or maybe just whatever fruity alcohol women prefer should be provided inexpensively as well.

This article is ridiculous. Coming from someone who lives in a country with single payer health insurance, all this fear mongering is absolutely insane. And socialism? Does the author actually think that the US is a socialist nation now? That speaks to a profound misunderstanding of any number of issues.

Also, the misspelling of Democrat and Catholic is juvenile. As a movement lets please not be associated with such infantile tactics.

Source? The article makes the claim with nothing to back that up.

Maternity care isn't a separate service added to insurance that you have to pay in addition to your premium, it's included, along with all the other diseases and disorders that your particular plan covers...

Women don't have prostates but their premium helps cover men with prostate issues. I don't have a uterus but my premium helps to cover women with uterine issues. Some people don't have appendixes anymore, why do they have to pay for appendectomies for the rest of the appendix having pieces of shit?

I don't understand why this is being made into some kind of conspiracy.
