Reply to comment by Gottapopemall in Chick-fil-A Tested a 3-Day Work Week and the Result Is Stunning by electroplasmasphere

I'm stating that people in the US have their healthcare intrinsically tied to their jobs. Not everyone has the opportunity to "work wherever", for instance, a person without a car in a small town might find that Chick-fil-a is one of the few places they can work.

Chick-fil-a shouldn't deny health care to people because they have female parts. Birth control pills are not just for birth control. I kinda gotta assume you're a dude, or you'd understand from personal experience what I'm talking about.

Of course, if you'd just like to troll the religion crap, feel free.

I’m not trolling anything. I don’t think that denying something on religious grounds makes chic-fil-a a “terrible” company especially considering a lot of people don’t think that birth control should be covered by insurance in at all. I’m not a religious man and I’m not claiming to understand all the tribulations of being a woman but outside of regulating periods, clearing acne, and MAYBE helping with cramps, I don’t see why condoms wouldn’t suffice.

To me, you seem like an angry and defensive person looking to make an enemy out of anyone that disagrees with your views. And funnily enough, that is the only way anyone could see chic-fil-a as a terrible company.

You are making my point for me. You can't see why this is much more than "regulating periods, clearing acne and MAYBE helping with cramps" because you are not a woman. However, you believe that a corporation should be able to decide whether thousands of employees should receive gender-specific health care (not your gender)? The fact is that if you are not a woman, you can not possibly understand what goes into the complexity of our medical care. Certainly, my employers interest in "The Lord" should have no impact on whether or not I can get care for dozens of different issues, because that care includes something that has one of it's uses labeled as "birth control".

By the way, Chick-fil-a wouldn't want you to use condoms either, if they could control that.

So your belief that they should pay for your birth control supersedes their right to practice their religion and run their private business in line with those values. I don’t think that’s very fair.

Haha. The company doesn't pay for medication. The company subsidized health insurance that follows the guidelines of the AHCA.
