Follow the money.
Obamacare mandates that medical insurers cover any FDA-approved contraceptive, including the newer, higher priced patented systems that you see advertised on TV constantly, like Mirena, NuvaRing or Yaz.
When people are paying the bill themselves, most will opt for the low-cost generic, which costs about five dollars a month. But if somebody else is paying the bill, they will opt for the one they see on TV at twenty times the price. The patented systems are much more profitable for the insurance companies.
If you are on a Statin for Cholestrol, your insurance company is pushing you toward the generics, as they become available. If you want the more expensive patented drug, you have to pay the difference out-of-pocket. But Obamacare specifically mandates that any FDA-approved birth control be fully covered, regardless of price.
Follow the money.
Disgusting actions by disgusting people.
And they never want to accept the consequences of their actions.
Wasn’t this witch elected based on her husband being murdered On a subway ?
Odd what a sick leftist she has evolved into ?
Gee I should have sued all those little boys parents whose sons made fun of me through grammar schooL. I spent many days crying, wishing I was dead or injured to make them feel bad so I might feel normal. Their messing with me took me years to feel better about myself. I still deal with what they did and in my 50’s It is sad.
this has been a WH coordinated marketing driven topic for some time. remember Stephanopoulos throwing it at Romney out of the blue during the NH debate in early January?
The whole “incedent” is a fraud and a leftist “red herring.” Rush should have seen through it.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., who pushed for Fluke’s testimony. Maloney also initiated the call for Fluke to sue Rush Limbaugh for his on-air derogatory remark about Fluke, according to the Daily Beast.
And it is I who suggest Rush sue Maloney, Flucke, and Pussie for going before the American people with a ploy to further abortion (murder of UN-born children) birth control con-terry to religious belief.
If Fluck sues Rush, could discovery go into all of the communication and coordination between the WH, rat congress, rat operatives, Media Matters, etc, or would it be restricted in any way?
Ya just got to shake your head and wonder these days.
Naaah, no conspiracy here. But, if incidcentally, Rush suddenly loses a number of sponsors, why what a strange outcome this is....
Did this woman (Fluke) actually say something about $3000/year on birth control? I’ve heard that but it doesn’t seem plausible given what that stuff goes for at Walmart...
Let her sue Rush for libel. Rush has more money than God. Can you imagine what he will uncover in her past and her family’s past? Libel is often more dangerous for the one who brings suit. And you can bet instigator Carolyn Maloney will be no where to be found once the chips are down.

We should have been paying attention to the fact that “women’s groups” have been slow-rolling insurance companies over these issues for nearly a decade. Most female-oriented procedures (pap smears, mammograms, etc.) are now fully covered with no co-pays, because when the insurers resisted they were demonized and villified as “anti-woman”. More liberal states passed laws to compel them. The Dems therefore had a long track record of making this successful.
Typo in the first line.....should be pubic

Answer to the question filled article.
“In early February, Fluke — who said she is Protestant — joined students from other universities for a news conference about birth control coverage at Catholic institutions. That appearance caught the eye of staff members working for Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, who asked her to testify at a hearing on Feb. 16.”
The left has lost the abortion issue, so now they’re trying to morph it into a debate about birth control.
They’re hunting for an issue to energize the base because there’s nothing about Barry’s record that he can run on. Getting women to buy the lie that Conservatives are out to deny them birth control is the left’s latest deception.
It just happens that some stupid lefty wench chose a Georgetown activist slut to be the face of their cause.
