[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 1213831, member: 28856"] You know, just thinking about the absurdity of the mandates, I know a few people who have been diagnosed as sterile. Both male and female, but under the ACA they're required to purchase insurance that also covers pregnancy/maternity. Insurance is all about spreading the cost over risk tables, but these physically can't actually end up in these situations that the insurance covers and as such are being further penalized for an unfortunate circumstance they endure. How could any compassionate person pour salt in the wound of these poor individuals who are unable to foster children biologically by making them pay for the treatment of others who can? Oh hey, why not. Why would any same sex couple be required to purchase insurance that covered pregnancy when their coupling has no ability to do so, without an outside agreement either through sexual contact with the opposite sex or through a medical facility to preform insemination. Should insurance also cover optional fertility treatments? [/QUOTE]
