I'm going to assume you're being purposefully contrarian but in case you're not, or for the benefit of anyone reading your comment and considering agreeing, know that hormonal birth control medicine has many, many benefits aside from preventing pregnancy:

Also consider the case of a woman who does not want to become pregnant due to genetic or physiological issues that would make pregnancy dangerous for her or the baby.
I know this is a common retort, but are pills to give men erections worthy of medical coverage? What about hair loss medications? If your rubric is based on fertility, should we not cover women once they reach menopause?
Finally I have a critique of your rhetorical strategy, "let's face the truth" is lazy and weak. For example, "Let's face the truth, jimlawruk hates women."
- jimlawruk 10y agoOuch, that's pretty harsh. I really don't. And I would agree your examples fit medical care and are excellent points. I just wanted to people to consider, is artificial hormones really more healthy? Is healthcare an accurate term?
