Yes. Cost is cost; insurance adds administrative overhead. The "discounts" insurance companies claim are generally B.S. There are LOTS of hands in the till every time an Rx is filled through a PBM.
should rush's policy include tampons for his fresh, new vagina?

Hard for SpursTalkers in general, tbh.
Risk can be calculated (underwritten); what is/is not covered simply changes the risk; in this case, although I don't know what it is; an underwriter could tell to within a few pennies how much this coverage would cost added in or excluded; the only time an insurance company "cares" is when it is risk expense that cannot be predicted - in which case the insurance company insures itself with another carrier that holds that paper with other similar risks until THAT company has enough volume of premium/like category of risk to be able to predict it/underwrite it, and ultimately make a profit off of it.
unless, like cowboy said, maternity isn't a part of her coverage.
anybody know if her policy covers maternity?
Obviously none of us have seen her policy but I know that when I went to school they offered a basic student policy (in a demographic that is typically young and healthy) that was basically just a catastrophic health care plan...it was cheap but only kicked in on big stuff...you guys that have been to school since I have may have had a different experience...
when we went to school, they had just invented the lightbulb.
Presumably her employer has more than 15 employees; therefore, it has to.
Wasn't she a student and not an employee?
She must have been drawing a stipend; I read it to be an employer/employee relationship. (My wife was covered as a grad student at A&M this way)
Limbaugh hasn't really apologized yet, has he?
All this does is simply make him more ratings than he has had in years.
Yep. Whatever advertisers he loses he will easily replace.
Oh yeah, it was a pretty specific and explicit apology.
The sponsor pullout shook him pretty badly.
Of course it was couched in a bunch of bluster and BS, but it was there.
On the contrary they can be literally life saving.
That was the jist of Ms. Flukes testimony, in which she gave a second hand account of a friend with a medically necessary instance where the pill was a life-saving medicine.

Possibly.
Lost what? Eleven?
(edit)
Seems to be about right. Count appears to be twelve as of yesterday.

At least one radio station has dropped him as well.

Interesting bit.
Seems like some of them do bulk buys for the network, and end up on his show simply by dint of his network.
There is a common refrain among some of the smaller organizations: it wasn’t a direct buy. They bought a package to meet x-demographic and had no idea that the Rush Limbaugh Show would be part of that buy. Radio ads as Google keyword ads. Welcome to the world of mass genization, where profits trump values.
Still hard to see him apologize like that, isn't it?
LOL...I could care less. I find him amusing at times but I'm no die hard supporter.
Sure are posting a lot in a thread about him. I'll take your word on it, I guess.
Same could be said about you, chump. Could be we just are bored and like to argue.
Rush Limbaugh's ' ' apology: 5 reasons it won't silence his critics Limbaugh takes the unusual step of apologizing for his incendiary on-air comments about Georgetown student Sandra Fluke. But "I'm sorry" may not be enough
1. Rush didn't really apologize
Limbaugh's rambling statement belongs in "the bulging archive of inadequate apologies issued by celebrities and media figures whose egos just won't allow for contrition," says Eric Wemple in The Washington Post. Rush could have just said, "I sincerely apologize to Sandra Fluke." But no, Limbaugh had to insert his "incriminating verbiage" about word choice. "Implication: Limbaugh doesn't regret the meaning of what he said; doesn't regret the associations he made; doesn't regret impugning Fluke's integrity across the country." No wonder critics haven't accepted his apology.
2. He still doesn't understand his mistake
Even worse than Limbaugh's "complete refusal to recognize that the uproar... isn't just about name-calling," says J. Bryan Lowder at Slate, is "his offensive misunderstanding of the importance and uses of birth control." Fluke didn't testify about her sex life, but about watching a friend have an ovary removed because she couldn't afford the treatment: Birth control pills, which have "many medical uses aside from contraception." Remember, "many women depend on birth control, not for 'social activities,' but for their basic health," and Limbaugh's galling ignorance of female biology is only amplified by his apology. It's sad we have to explain this, says Violet Socks at Reclusive Leftist, but even if you do use these pills for contraception, "you don't take a pill when you're going to have sex, and you don't take more or less of them depending on your sexual activity."
3. The attacks on Fluke and birth control haven't stopped
Limbaugh's "total fabrication and vicious smear" about Fluke getting taxpayer dollars to have lots of sex has spread to other right-wing talkers like Bill O'Reilly, Mic e Malkin, and Erick Erickson, says John Chandley at Firedoglake. "The memo's gone out: Tell the lie about government paying for sex." I guess that makes this a teachable moment, says Socks. "Taxpayers aren't paying for Sandra Fluke's health care," or any private employer's plan.
4. Liberals smell blood
"Make no mistake, the fight is not over Rush's words," says William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection. The Left's big stink about this "one joke gone bad" is part of a larger "attempt find something, anything, to force Rush off the air." Yes, we liberals do smell "blood in the water," says Barbara O'Brien at The Mahablog. It's about time for Rush "to learn to be afraid of pissing off women."
5. Limbaugh himself may not drop it
Everyone is up in arms about Limbaugh's latest on-air bile, but "this is his job," says Alexandra Petri at The Washington Post. We used to pillory people for the "gift of saying exactly the worst possible thing," but now we give them talk shows. Limbaugh may be losing friends and advertisers, "but ratings have never been higher." More to the point, says Doug Mataconis at Outside the Beltway: You can bet Limbaugh will keep talking about this, and "find a way to spin this to his advantage. He always does."

I'm still wondering why her activism makes a difference to you.
The difference between being a pro and an amateur. Pretty simple.
Which is?
I am just going to drop this right here in case y'all are interested.
