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.
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!!!
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.
Those are still high quality compared to the Romed ones that were occasionally handed out at our high school. It's a miracle my first girlfriend didn't have to get an abortion tbh. We decided it was safer to just pull out.
I used to volunteer for planned parenthood and they gave me all sorts of condom goodies to hand out wherever I went. I’m asexual so it was fun for me to swat down men asking if they could use them on me! “Do you want the free awesome condoms, or do you want to piss off the safe sex fairy? That’s what I thought. Go have fun now.”
Around Halloween, condoms taped to a stick like a sucker. Actually year round for fun. Those were always a big hit at parties. “Hey want a sucker? This will make it safe!”
Xmas, they had red and green flavored condoms. Red was peppermint green was fruity.
Going to a convention they would ship me with several hundred glittery shiny package condoms. I had an alligator clip necklace for those shiny bitches. Got so much love for it.
You name it, they did it with condoms. Because why the hell not make it fun??
Sadly I’m too old to social these days (jk I’m just not an event person anymore). Or I’d keep it up for sure.
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 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.
If you are a laborer and not an owner or a board member then I don't give a fuck what your job is, you deserve to get paid more. Wages have been stagnant for 50 years, but labor value has increased 3 fold. For non owners everyone needs their salaries tripled just to get us back on track.
Ugh. This money isn't going to the greater good. I want socialized medicine where I pay around 4% towards the greater good and not towards the profits of an insurance corporation.
