More NYC MTA-Union Farce

This is the farce that results when you permit critical services to be monopolized by a socialist, racially divisive, slash-and-burn labor union.

What is particularly illogical about this demand is that the coverage of Viagara and of female contraception is not analogous. Viagara is a corrective to a medical deficiency. Male impotance is a deficient medical condition. Female contraception is not a corrective. Being a healthy woman of child-bearing age is not a deficient medical condition. That is why most health plans do not cover female contraception. As well, such coverage would amount to a subsidy of contraceptive users by non-users. The cost of female contraception would be spread across the entire insurance pool so as to result in higher premiums for all, thus females (and males) who choose not to use contraceptives would be subsidizing females that do. So here we have one group of not sick people demanding sudsidized non-corrective treatment for their non-sickness from others, both sick and not-sick, by claiming an injustice because sick people are getting a corrective treatment for their sickness. This is an example of how politics has infected the healthcare market and made it, well, as just plain crazy as our politics.

Also, from my experience it would hardly seem that the female employees of NYC subway system are a population subset in tremendous need of contraception.
