I’ve got plus around 500 and minus around 500 on Reddit once EDIT: in the same day. Don’t remember which was which. The upvoted comment was vague approval of USSR’s actually existent checks and balances. I suspect the other one was generally the same at the same subreddit. I suspect when Redditors see something vague, they just guess, and then the next Redditor only looks at the vote count.
Its a handout to condom companies and stores that otherwise would have to compete on price. Granted, I don’t know how it would be implemented, but these tend not to be implemented well
So it’s better to make people pay for their own condoms and other OTC contraceptives rather than have insurance cover it? Because that sounds worse to me.
Yes, insurance exists for unexpected events, that’s why its insurance. A condom is a cost you willingly accept. And to be honest, primary care often shouldn’t be insurable, but since plans are required to cover it without price discrimination it kills direct primary care- so this is something that has to be accepted. Now, if medicare/medicaid and other programs choose to cover it that’s a different thing, but requiring all plans cover it is dumb. But I guess plans don’t really have to compete that much on price and value-added that much anymore post-ACA anyways
As I said in theory insurance shouldn’t cover primary care, but this is required post-ACA, and I think before too but I’m not sure starting from when. I think direct primary care could be great(but there are also otherways to do it, like optional primary care insurance).
For some preventative things insurance would choose to cover it if it weren’t required to save them money in the long run.
A desperate attempt by Kamala to win more votes?
Let me fix that for you: a politician’s attempt to court disengaged voters by presenting a popular proposal. AKA democracy.
Damn those dems using common sense policies to win votes!!
I want my representatives to use fear mongering and do absolutely nothing!
No, thats not what I think
The White House: *does anything*
Idiots: DERE JEST DOING IT FUR VOTES!!!
Also idiots: DA DUMOCRATES HAVUNT DUN ENYTHING DURRING DERE TURM!!!1!!
Shhhhhh… The adults are working…
Go finish your beer.
I don’t really think of proposing new policies as “desperate” so much as just trying to outline her goals to people who are still undecided.
Now if she went out and did some weird photoshoot stunt, I might start to pull out the desperate label.
The good ol’ Mickey D’s strategy
How dare she… Give people the things they want for votes… The outrage!

that’s the hardest ratio on this site I’ve SEEN. The only upvote from one hundred and six people was from yourself.

What is your specific issue with this policy?
I get that you think it is being done as a political stunt, but what is the actual issue you have with it aside from that?
Insurance is why the cost of healthcare is out of control in the US.

Then insurance should also not cover things like breast exams and colonoscopies, right?
They are not unexpected events.

You didn’t answer my question.
Should breast exams and colonoscopies be covered by insurance?
I did answer, I think that should be negotiated between the insurer and insuree, and should not be required to be covered.
