Takeda - its not a stretch. Taxpayers foot the bill for Pell Grants. Simple as that. Pell Grant money is mixed with other funds and used to pay student bills - including the insurance in question. So if you mandate contraceptive coverage - taxpayer money goes to it. Simple as that.

But the more important argument isn't even being made. That is that the cost of additional coverage is not going to be absorbed by the insurer. There is no such thing as "free" coverage - no matter how much the president says it is. Someone is paying for it. That "someone" is everyone who does business with the insurer - because the insurer passes on the costs to its consumers.

You know that as well as I do. So not only does taxpayer money go to help pay for the insurance - if additional costs are put on the coverage - the consuming public will have to pay additionally.

So why should you or I or another consumer have to defray the costs for students - or any other group for that matter?
