What if???

Men were forced to purchase a separate insurance rider for their prostate?

Afterall, not all men get prostate cancer or have issues with their prostate, and NO women have a prostate. So why aren't men forced to take a chance with their health and decide for themselves whether to fork over the extra bucks for an additional rider for prostate protection?

2. Why should women have to pay separately for our reproductive systems?

Men have reproductive systems too. Men leave a part of themselves behind when a woman gets pregnant. It takes two to tango.

Either both pay the same, or both pay extra for reproductive systems...which leads me to my point:
Insuring ANYONE's reproductive system separately from the rest of the body in health care just shows how discriminatory the entire concept is.

What next? A separate insurance policy for foreskins that states can decide whether to even offer or not?

It's just freaking ridiculous. I don't know who has a stronger control over our government, the churches or the corporations. It seems to be a trifecta.

3. maybe we should all be able to choose what type of sicknesses we want to be covered for.

that might be the best way.

I choose, breast cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer. And price goes up for each sickness you choose to be covered for.

And they can create bulk packages, 5 major illnesses covered and the flu 3x every five years. $195/month.

If I get sick with some other cancer, well I didn't choose that for my policy, c'est la vie!

4. We could call it a la carte healthcare bundling?? No??
