Then again it's highly suspect to me that they are squealing bloody murder about providing orthotricyclene to a woman who may have actual medical use for it such as endometriosis, but they WILL pay for little blue male boner pills.
Exactly. I took ortho for acne and painful periods for years.
I fail to see what use viagra has outside of giving a guy a boner. Although, I guess you could argue that it is a fertility drug?
Complicating the Catholic thing still, is that THEY aren't required to provide this. Insurance companies are. And it's not an additional cost to the the religious institution.
This is what keeps confusing me. Why are they so hot and bothered about something they aren't required to pay for? I'm guessing it depends on the insurance plan? I remember working for an insurance company - and in some plans, the employer did have to pay a higher co-payment or deductible for plans that included electives such as birth control and viagra. But isn't that a health insurance company problem? (Health insurance companies are evil. I know, I worked for the biggest one in the country for a bit - Empire Blue Cross/Anthem/Wellchoice.)
