Well if we want to have them cover IVF then they should cover the opposite and preventing pregnancy. I just wonder what the limit will be on condoms, for those that fuck it might not be enough.
Your insurance covers 1 per month, uhh when I was 18 that was good for a year.
Sounds like a good idea, I don’t see why not. Now if only I had health insurance…
Health Insurance needs to not exist and Universal Healthcare juts cover all the stuff people need to stay healthy and live productive lives. From sexual healthcare to mental healthcare and of course medicine and anything else you’d need to see a doctor or medical professional for.
They also say HIV testing for prevention needs to be covered but my state run institution violates it and charges $280. Fuck you MU Healthcare, you homophobic fucks!!!
That is awful. In MN you can get free HIV testing and free Prep, I can’t imagine paying hundreds of dollars for HIV testing.
I ended up going with Mistr since it’s free. Though I don’t like having to milk the blood out of my finger, I’d rather go to the clinic.
You really want to go the pharmacy and hand them your ID and insurance card while the look you up and say “actually these condoms are ‘ribbed for her pleasure’ rather than ‘skin-feel’ so are not covered, also you’re over your condom allowance”. That would be so awkward barely anyone would bother.
I mean depends on how many you get per month.
“Shit, sorry babe, I haven’t hit my deductable… I need some money for more condoms.”
The condom part is silly.
Cost and availability aren’t barriers to condom usage. They sell 36 packs of condoms at Walmart for like $15. Basically every single convenience store sells them for prices that, while massively inflated, are pretty low in the grand scheme of things. Most college health centers give them out for free.
The reason people don’t wear them is because doing it raw just feels better.
For some, that’s less than a month’s supply.
For many people price is a barrier. One which has no need to exist, and only exists because for some reason Christian bosses don’t want to recognize that their employees have sex, and get all weird about it.
College health centers usually only hand them out to their students. Do you think people stop having sex after they graduate?
This is besides the fact that the best way to reduce abortions and unwanted pregnancies on the whole is to provide and encourage contraceptives. One way to do that is make condoms and contraception covered by healthcare.
Edit to add: man, I get enough awkwardness buying my partner’s tampons if she needs a top-off. I certainly don’t want her knowing my dick size.
Don’t be embarrassed, nobody gives a shit about that stuff. Also… if you’re using condoms… how would she not already know your dick size!?
Funny… so I’m leaving it… but you do know I was referring to the cashier knowing?
And yes, this particular cashier does comment on the tampons- and given the whole-getting-hit-on-thing, the less she knows about me the better.
(Walmart Lady needs higher standards.)
Your Walmart doesn’t have self-checkout? Or other open lanes? It’s one particular cashier? Regardless if she’s harassing you like that you need to let her/management know.
Look I’m sorry but this is ridiculous. The type of people to not be able to afford $15/month most likely don’t have insurance, or even access to a pharmacy. While there isn’t any real data on the venn diagram of people having sex more than once a day and being too poor to afford an extra 50¢ per day for every extra sex session, but I suspect it is vanishingly small.
At some point this is just virtue signaling. It’s eyeroll inducing.
First off, condoms break…not often but they do.
secondly, some use toys that may or may not need to be also covered.
Third, you really should be changing condoms after anal and going to something else.
Finally there are people that are incredibly… uh… horny. I’m not one of them, but yes, they do in fact exist. There’s a reason many senior living homes pass around free condoms, too.
And on the note of people having health insurance… that’s also a problem that should be solved. But that’s rather off topic.
Prevents abortions, Republicans should be all for this, right? Right?
Inevitably it will only be covered by Medicare, commence pulling apart the grilled cheese sandwich.
Abso-fucking-lutely.
Fucking liberals want to block me from having STDs
Doesn’t Medicare Part D already cover stuff like penis pumps? Have sworn I read that somewhere.
I think you should just be happy with what you got. There’s people with worse problems than being a needle dick.
Apparently, they are also used for treating erectile disfunction.
