But it doesn't do as you're suggesting. It doesn't tie cost (to the consumer) to utilization of health care. If females decide to use contraceptives or decide to have a baby, that cost is no incremental burden to her, either way. Her cost is identical under either scenario.

Which, back on point, is much the same as most employer paid programs. And contraceptives/pregnancy is one small issue.

You guys are so steeped in your hate of ObamaCare that you can't even admit that a transition to end user payee would be a good thing. That's been one of the core convictions of the conservatives here. You can say ObamaCare is the second worst thing to thermonuclear war... but at least admit, that if it happened, end users paying for their own insurance would be a positive.
