That's unfortunate. GT should have covered it and I would support 100% a law requiring that they cover it in these instances. ...

I agree. Birth control pills for medical reasons like PCOS should be covered.

So tell me. did your moral upbringing teach you that it's ok just to make **** up to attempt to make a point? Or that being disingenuous is something less than lying?

If anything it proves Fluke is a liar, given the4 $1200 quoted by this mysterious unnamed woman.

? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE4 $1200 quoted?

In Fluke's testimoney she said the woman with PCOs paid $100 a month for her pills.
“After months paying over $100 out-of-pocket, she just couldn’t afford her medication anymore, and she had to stop taking it.... “Without her taking the birth control, a massive cyst the size of a tennis ball had grown on her ovary. She had to have surgery to remove her entire ovary as a result.

In the New York Times article the unnamed woman said:
She finally gave up and paid out of pocket, more than $100 a month. After a few months she could no longer afford the pills. Within months she developed a large ovarian cyst that had to be removed surgically — along with her ovary.

Limaugh is wildly successful at what he does. You have to give the devil his due. There is lots of money in hate. Lots.

I remember when he first went national I used to listen to him a couple of hours each week to get the conservative slant. Then I noticed over time that he was far more partisan than he was an ideological conservative in the mold of Bill Buckley. Intellectually, he could not carry Bill Buckley's water. I noticed how what he would excuse George Bush for was something he excoriated Clinton about a couple of years later. And then when the younger Bush took over, he found ways to excuse his mistakes that he ripped into Clinton for.

He is very good at what he does. He is talented and - at times - funny in a vicious mean way. But this whole episode is going to cost him.... for how long who can say.... but he is paying a price for it or will soon.

I am sure they could have, but newspapers want dramatic stories and losing an ovary because she was denied birth control coverage made that story.

How many people want to read a story about my 28 year old DD who was denied coverage for her BC pills through her employer's insurance a couple of years ago even though the insurance company knew she had PCOS before they granted her insurance?
Yes, she had pay for her PCOS birth control pills out of pocket. She recently got a new job with a different company and she has a $35 co-pay for her PCOS birth control pills.

Do you think my daughter's story would sell more papers than the story of the gay woman who lost her ovary because of the lack of coverage?

I didn't see anyone who claimed that $100/month was the best case, but I haven't read every post. In any case, SHE didn't lie, as you claimed. Which I guess means you lied.

i never said that, I believe her number was "up to 1800" a month and followed up with her fellow law students couldnt afford that or some such.

Feel free to prove me wrong.

Don't hate her, i just know her for who she is, an activist democrat plant, hoping that by makin republicans look anti woman and anti bc, they can steal more of that demographic from the right.


Then again I made tons of money seeing through games like this, on a more technological level, but it's just a different chess set.

Law school is usually 3 years = 36 months. 36 * $83 per month = $3,000 approximately. Rev's numbers were actually a little high.
