I was having a “discussion” with a woman regarding a totally unrelated matter about supporting legislation being proposed by Reps from NY that would mandate insurance companies cover fertility treatments. I maintained the usual conservative viewpoint; gov’t shouldn’t mandate, private company, insurance offers services they can make a profit on, etc. She actually used the example of the USPS insurance covering fertility treatments and if they can do it anyone can! Hello??

People just don't get it or don't want to. And I wouldn't count on that 'conservative' thing. A lot of people sound like fiscal conservatives until you get to something they want.

“...until you get down to something they want.”

You hit it exactly on the head. She wants a baby, can’t afford fertility treatments out of pocket, and thinks someone else should help pay for them. And why not?

The increasing (?) level of selfishness & entitlement is very frustrating.
