http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/fb_contr_use.html • A much higher proportion of married than of never-married women use a contraceptive method (77% vs. 42%). This is largely because married women are more likely to be sexually active. But even among those at risk of unintended pregnancy, contraceptive use is higher among currently married women than among never-married women (93% vs. 83%).[2] You gotta love how the right and people like cupid dave paint any woman using contraceptives as some promiscuous harlot having sex with random men. Of course the largest users of contraceptives are married couples. • Modern contraception is highly effective. Among American women at risk for unintended pregnancy, the 65% who use a contraceptive method consistently and correctly account for only 5% of unintended pregnancies. The 19% who use a method inconsistently account for 43%, and the 16% who do not use a method at all account for 52%.

Hi [MENTION=31482]danielpalos[/MENTION] Did you ever consider there is an even less expensive, less bureaucratic, more effective sustainable way to approach this whole system? If you teach and hold people responsible for their own choices and costs, that solves a lot more problems costing taxpayers, too. In general, talking about curing and preventing any excessive costs of health care: Maybe it's because if spiritual healing were establishing as a regular part of medical science and health (instead of rejecting it for fear of religion being involved), then society could CURE more of the costs and causes of disease and crime for FREE. There would be minimal control or intervention by govt, and thus no waste of billions fighting politically over problems. Most of the resources and lives could be saved by getting politics out of it altogether. So you wouldn't RELY on taxing people or corporations with all these regulations if the demands were reduced in the first place to manageable levels. More people could be served more effectively with the same resources currently wasted on failed systems. That could be why people are complaining!
I agree with you that Socialism requires social morals for free; only capitalism provides market based metrics for capital based morals.
the ACA is in more trouble, yet...unpaid subsidies..........denial of applications for subsidies: http://personalliberty.com/obama-awa...low-obamacare/
It does take a village to raise the kids,... Because peer pressure will divert the best parenting to bad behaviors in the sexual department. We can see this happening in America where 2/3rds of the Abortions today are by young people checking "Christian" for religion. The peer pressure of neighbors was the reason why the Jewish patriarchies saw attacking their neighbors as a preventive measure to prevent sexualization by the other society.
...funny though,... In spite that "a much higher proportion of married than of never-married women use a contraceptive method," 70% of all abortions occur with never married women under age of 22.
