Healthcare going forward

^ The guy from the insurance company was very good at not answering questions.

When R&D is in single-digit millions and advertising is in double-digit millions and profits are nearing $1 billion, there is something wrong with the system.

The guy from the insurance company sounded a lot like the Medicaid gal who was only focused on taking all my mom's money and property and cared not one whit about what help she needed -- lots of non-answers and lots of obfuscation.

That's not how outpatient billing works. Only inpatient is allowed to itemize.
 
Meanwhile, back in Washington, after 20 years of uninterrupted healthcare for poor children:

9 million kids get health insurance under CHIP. Congress just let it expire.[WaPo]

Congress just allowed the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which provided low-cost health insurance to 9 million children, to expire.

If action is not taken soon to restore the funding, the effects will become obvious in schools across the country, with many of the children in the program unable to see a doctor for routine checkups, immunizations, visits when sick and other services.

The program, created under a 1997 law passed with bipartisan support during the administration of President Bill Clinton, provided coverage for children in families with low and moderate incomes as well as to pregnant women. It was instrumental in lowering the percentage of children who were uninsured from nearly 14 percent when it started to 4.5 percent in 2015. It was last reauthorized in 2015 and was due to be renewed by Sept. 30, 2017.

That should pay for a few more of Trump's weekend golf vacations.

Again, I remind you that because of the ACA we had to tighten our belts. We are a very rural New Mexico clinic and our prices are not overblown. Many of our clients are Natives. Our profits on supplies is 10 to 15%. As I've said several times we are a CONSEVATIVE CLINIC.
 
^ I wonder how many 'religious right' married folks use or have used any sort of contraception?

Companies should not be granted the ability to declare a religion.
This is important. Birth control has an extremely positive impact on our country. It enables people to make more choices and reduces abortions.
We just aren't doing right by our people. That's nothing new though I suppose.
 
Unlike other medicines, contraception does not cure an illness. Pregnancy is entirely consistent wirth perfect health. Why should employers be forced to pay for it? If so, why not force companies to give other things to them? They would like free wine, beer or alcohol as well. Free cosmetics, perhaps. Plastic surgery maybe. All will bring votes to the democrats. Were does it all end?
As a separate issue, the women's wish for more gifts does not outweigh the employer's religious objections, if any.

You're wrong on this. Oral contraceptives are often prescribed for the first time for medical reasons- dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), excessive bleeding and for irregular menstrual cycles.

The typical 30 dose monthly cycle of birth control pills is about $35... about the same as five Viagra pills.

And incidentally, most medicines don't cure, they just ameliorate symptoms... for example, insulin doesn't cure diabetes nor does it prevent all of the problems that come with diabetes, like neuropathy, for example.

But your argument is another strawman. The religious right doesn't want to remove coverage for contraception because of any connection with disease. It's about social conservatives and their outrage that women might have control over pregnancy and conception.

Most likely all at some time in their lives. Deeply held religious beliefs indeed. The Catholic Church is so out of touch with
what it's membership actually does. The exceptions for "deeply held religious beliefs" are code for bigotry and discrimination as I'm sure
that the Catholics for instance, have no problem serving adulterers, sex before marriage couples etc. which are also supposedly against their "deeply held religious beliefs". If you're gay however, no service.
 
The numbers just don't add up and the big question is 'Why?'

I would grant a company a legitimate religious position if and only if it is owned and staffed 100% by people who hold to that religious position -- owners and staff being the same.

The Roman Catholic Church is seriously out of touch with what the Bible says, or it wouldn't insist contraception is wrong: it points to "Be fruitful and multiply" but ignores the rest: "fill the earth". Logically, the moment humans begin to crowd out other species, that command has been fulfilled, and to continue to multiply thereafter must be sin; hence, the Pope and his church are advocating for people to sin.
 
As a conservative, this is where I part ways with the Right. A conservative government does not intrude into a woman's private life. It also endorses no religion, they're seperate. It is none of the government's business.
