re: #50 Targetpractice

Their argument’s basically a copy over of their one against Planned Parenthood, namely the “fungible dollars” one that says if I’m paying higher premiums now, then that’s the same as me paying for a woman’s “free contraception.” Doesn’t matter if the premiums were gonna go up anyway, or that contraception being “free” saves money down the line, they’re higher so I’m “paying” for that contraception.

There is the entire argument that universal health care will promote more preventive medicine and actually lower overall costs. But that is cast to the winds in the dame of “government interference in our private choices”.
