The same employer that will pay for viagra?
There's something not right about covering male erectile dysfunction pills but not covering birth control. Just stop and think about it for a few minutes.
There is no government mandate that says your employer must provide free viagra.
I know. My point is that it just doesn't seem right that an employer will cover one and not the other.

One is for a actual medical condition. The other isn't.
Most health insurance policies do not cover infertility diagnosis and treatment...
Lots of women use birth control for medical conditions. Not just for preventing pregnancy.One is for a actual medical condition. The other isn't.
This is very true. My oldest takes birth control because of cysts and such just like my wife used to get. Birth control keeps these cysts away.Lots of women use birth control for medical conditions. Not just for preventing pregnancy.
Correct, but somebody needs to let the dad know it's being prescribed to the daughter for cysts BEFORE THE DAD FINDS THEM. Talk about an awkward moment when I looked at our middle one and said, "Yeah, right. Tell me again why you're taking these."This is very true.

Back in the old days before government mandates most employers covered "the pill" when prescribed for a medical condition but not for contraception only. It was that way for thirty years.Lots of women use birth control for medical conditions. Not just for preventing pregnancy.
But we still need government to fix it. (eyes rolling).Back in the old days before government mandates most employers covered "the pill" when prescribed for a medical condition but not for contraception only. It was that way for thirty years.
Clearly, this issue isn't as simple as we wish it was.
True that many women, especially young women, take BCPs for medical conditions. Now personally, I have mixed feelings about this because oral contraceptives can also cause a lot of problems in some women. Long story....but BCP's caused terrible depression in "She who adores me" years ago and almost broke up our marriage. Then the doctor put her on anti-depressants, which helped the depression but caused a whole different set of horrors. We found out the core cause only after the doc took her off BCP's in her 40's and I got the snippity do dah. All the depression just went away and my best girl reappeared.
I spent some time online and found that this is far more common that doctors tell us. I've also seen claims that over 75% of women diagnosed with depression is due to them taking BCPs. Not to mention weight gain and less severe personality shifts.
