I totally think that the health care system NEEDS reform, badly. Especially for women. But I know, also, from talking to my future brother-in-law who is currently in med school, that the current reform being posed may seriously hurt doctors' jobs. I don't know too much about either side, so I won't say much more. I just wanted to share that I don't know. :-P I’m torn on the whole health care issue, and since it is relatively controversial, you don’t see me posting too much about it.

Absolutely up the freakin' wall. WHY don't male politicians understand the importance of women's reproductive health and family planning? Forget women's health. It's an economic and political thing. Women without access to birth control (or the knowledge to use it) both here and abroad are more likely to have more children, leading to poverty, greater use of government resources, etc, etc, etc. Family planning is not just about abortion, people!!! OK, rant over. Thank you for indulging me. Oh, that Viagra vs. birth control thing drives me up the freakin’ wall. Absolutely up the freakin’ wall.

Totally logical! And the fact that "being a woman" seems to be a pre-existing condition just makes my blood boil. Right, because Viagra is covered under most plans but birth control is not.
