Some basic facts:

(1) Birth Control is only useful in heterosexual sex. It takes one women and one or more men to establish a need for birth control. Both sexes are involved. Both sexes benefit. But when it comes time to pay the pharmacy, only one sex is shelling out the money.


(2) Insurance policies for healthcare provided by employment are a contractual matter. The employee is offered a benefit as inducement to work for a particular employer as an EARNED PROPERTY RIGHT.


(3) The insurance policy is in the name of the employee, NOT the employer. It is the employees property to do with as they decide. The employer has no ownership interest in the policy, no legal interest in the policy. The policy does not belong to the employer at any moment in time. It is an EARNED benefit paid for by services rendered under a contractual basis which is 100% paid for by the employee in lieu of higher wages.


(4) The only role of the employer is acting as the employees contractual agent to collect the individual employee contributions and turn them over to the insurance company group policy the payments of premiums in exchange for contractual services rendered by the employees.


Nowhere in any of these facts is there any employer interest in controlling the choices of services from the healthcare insurance provider which the worker has solely earned and paid for. "Employer contribution" is merely a euphanism.
