I also believe that some place have regulations on insurance including the often trivial and absurd. In various states, these include insurance alcoholism, infertility treatment, acupuncturists, marriage therapists, massage therapists, and osteopaths - whether you want any of them or not. Studies have found these ridiculous mandates increase the cost of coverage by 15-30 percent and prevent up to 25 percent of the uninsured from purchasing insurance.

So when i say mandate health insurance I am speaking of the basic no frills policy.If someone wants the inclusions mentioned they could purchase those frills themselves. I would go as far to say that I think contraceptives even if paid for by taxpayers would be an investment worth making. It could save us billions and prevent child abuse and poverty,
