RE :”Some brand name/non formulary BC that women use for medical issues is big $$$. $3000 over 3 years is not out of the norm.

Thanks.
That sounds like what they are talking about. Is this because the generic $9 pills are not effective for those women or that they cause side effects for them?

Could you elaborate?

Can't understand women if they do not like Rush. He has supported women continuous. It is the Democrats and their communists ilk that put women, and incidentally, the blacks as well.

"...the hate for Rush and the support for Fluke..."

Propaganda is a powerful tool - look what it did and still doing to Bush. Having the MSM at your beck and call doesn't hurt..............

Good article.

The REAL ISSUE issue is being LOST and Rush is the reason.

The REAL ISSUE could have been a watershed moment for the Republican candidates. Rush completely sucked the wind out the Republican campaign. Some of the candidates were trying to make the point he lost ... which could have had a very decisive outcome in the election.

But no, it is more importnat for ONE person to have some fun at another individuals expense than to MAKE AN IMPORTANT POINT and have it resonate and possibly change the outcome of PPACA (Obamacare) and at the same time hurt Obama’s chances at re-election.

Let’s face it. Rush makes more money if Obama wins.
Make of that what you will.

Calling someone on making a mistake is not ‘hate’.

You’re falling into the liberal habit of calling everything you don’t agree with ‘hate-speech’. One can say Rush screwed up without hating the man.

Geez.

You are correct, Fluke's figure likely included an abortion or two. You can't expect liberal doped up sluts, that take no responsibility for anything, to remember to use the BC all the time.

My GF was on BC for a medical issue (fibroids in her tubes???), can't remember the name of the drug as she is no longer on it. Not sure of the drug cost but she paid a $70-75 monthly copay for it as it was non formulary drug.

Yes, I would presume the generics were not effective because that is what the doc prescribed.

While I agree with you about Fluke’s testimony being a set-up. It would have passed with little notice other than the issue at hand, which is attack on religious institutions, had Rush not made a mess of it.

Now that the issue has been converted to a personal attack on a woman, that is the issue from now on.

How was it Fluke was under oath when she was just speaking to a sub committee?

I'm getting sick of this. Rush screwed up and it has caused the entire debate to be derailed. The issues is religious freedom, not women's access to birth control.

I'm also sick of the way the Republican candidates have let the message drift into bashing each other (Romney obviously the worst offender) rather than bashing Obama.

At this point I've decided to pretty much ignore politics until after the Republican convention...no point in raising my blood pressure over it.

Some brand name/non formulary BC that women use for medical issues is big $$$. $3000 over 3 years is not out of the norm.

But everyone needs to understand that medicine used for genuine medical issues, for a medical problem, IS NOT BIRTH CONTROL, and is paid for by insurance. It is not considered birth control, because it is not being used for birth control.

Many medications have many different effects. Minoxydil is used to control blood pressure, but if you spread it on your head it MIGHT grow hair (probably not).

If a doctor diagnoses a genuine medical problem and prescribes the same medication that coincidentally can be used as birth control, ALL HEALTH INSURANCE WILL PAY FOR IT -- and religious institutions like the Catholic Church APPROVE of the medication being used to treat a genuine medical need.

Birth control medication used for a medical problem is NOT "birth control."

Even Georgetown University's health insurance would pay for the medication upon a doctor's diagnosis of a medical problem.

Insurance considers it based on the problem being addressed, not on the medication or procedure, because many medications have multiple purposes.

For example, cosmetic surgery because you were in a car accident would be covered by insurance. But simply for vanity, it would not be covered.

Some of us are playing mind-games about TV disposal in the horrendous event Zero is re-elected.

But I dont think his points to me are unreasonable. We can argue about his conclusions in some of the other comments.
