    I am not seeing any doctors in a cursory search saying that people should not be screened for breast and colon cancer at all.

    Where did I say that?? If you don’t stop engaging in bad faith I won’t respond.

    Also, why is the job of an insurer not to save taxpayer money?

    Do you think McDonald’s should be required to open a shipyard as a loss to save the navy money on warships? Because its simply not their job.

    Maybe if we made that part of the cost of owning a business, we would be able to have more social services.

    Businesses already pay tax, also insurers are already required to cover screening>

    But something tells me you don’t want more social services just like you apparently want unwanted babies from people who would otherwise be able to afford birth control if their insurance took care of it.

    Do you think health insurance should be required to buy homes for people? Or help them pay for gas? No? So you want people to be homeless?

    What you’re advocating is a type of fascism called corporatism. You want a merger between the responsibilities and goals of the state and “private” companies. This type of merger tends to be deeply profitable for politicians and companies- see the military industrial complex.

    You’re not giving a good reason why the government just buying a condom factory and giving condoms out for free wouldn’t be more efficient, since you’re so concerned about saving money for the tax payer.
