Are you serious? Cry me a river! You ALREADY get aide to go to school for free and now you want the rest of us to pay for your sex? This is an outrage! Some of us actually paid for our college by working two jobs and eating peanut butter and jelly. We also bought our own birth control as well. Sounds to me like you Ms. Fluke are a great example of"entitlement". Please tell me why as a taxpayer I should pay for your sexual activities? It is a manipulation to call it "healthcare". You may be sick and need to go to the doctors but you DO NOT have to have sex! Two very different issues.

Sandra and every other woman in the US can pay for her own darn contraceptives. I'm so sick of hearing women whine about the cost–which is negligible–to engage in casual sex.
Sorry, I'm not interested in paying for your sexual exploits. As a woman I reply, \GROW UP ALREADY!\
This kid's \testimony\ was ridiculous, hilarious and a sad commentary on the quality of logic and reason coming from supposedly intelligent university students. She wants it, therefore she must have it paid for by others.
Sheesh.

Oh give me freaking a break, women have no "right" to contraception; if a woman needs contraception then she can pay for it herself. I have no problem with it if she needs it for a documented medical reason but if you're just having sex than you can do it on your own dollar, NOT mine. If students want to save money on contraception then these girls should study more and keep their pants on. That's just the truth, taxpayers aren't responsible for it.

Damn how do you find time to study, is this a law school or a prostitution school?

First, Fluke says it costs $3,000 a year for contraceptives.
That is deceptive. Walmart has been offering oral contraceptives for $9 a month since 2007. That is $108 per year. Other pharmacies offer similar deals.
Second, why is it our responsibility to pay for another person's recreational sexual activity? or incur higher insurance premiums for it?
Third, if a married person couldn't afford the cost of her contraceptives one month, she and her husband could reduce their sexual activity for a few weeks and use a condom to save money, or practice abstinence until they saved for their own birth control. Or go to a free clinic.
Fourth, if a woman can't pay for her contraceptives, then her male partner should cough up the money for it. Why should we pay for two people's sexual activity?
Fifth, the woman who was denied treatment for ovarian cysts is a separate issue. We shouldn't have to pay for everyone in this country to have a face lift if they want it, because one person was denied plastic surgery for a facial injury. That is why we have lawyers in this country, and that is why we have law schools like Georgetown University, to file lawsuits for people like this woman, and have the insurance company pay for their lawful claims.

What a stupid whore.
It's not enough that she gets a free education, now she wants everyone to pay more, so she can be a worry-free skank?
I can't wait until the global economic collapse.
Hopefully, most of you lazy, worthless leeches will starve to death.

The problem is partly United HealthCare. No one is denying contraception to women; United HealthCare is denying that medication for what is a covered condition. That's a different legal problem & they should be dragged back to court (again, I might add!) to answer for that. Anyone who has had them has had justifiable things denied. They're TERRIBLE and cheap for employers. Another problem with Ms. Fluke is that she is not an EMPLOYEE; this legislation applies to employees, not students. Another problem: there are other ways to get free or cheap contraception. My understanding is that she is for all students, including those who do want it as contraception only. Make their boyfriend pay it or the "door" is closed til they do! That'll get those worthless guys to pay up! This is not a Women's Issue, and shame on those tho think it is.
