You're wrong about that. I have United Healthcare and they paid the entire cost for my daughter who is 17. I feel that in no way does this condone premarital sex. My daughter is absolutely aware that this does not prevent pregnancy, HIV or other STDs. We have had lots of discussions about sex and that it should be saved for marriage in a loving relationship. However, I'm not so naive as to think that she may possibly not wait. I feel it is my responsibility to keep her healthy in any way I can. Also what about rape? Sometimes our "morals" aren't someone elses. By the way, the recommended age is 9-26. Either wait until your daughter is old enough to understand the implications or as a previous poster mentioned, just treat it like another immunization if you're not ready to get into that discussion. I don't know that I agree with making this mandatory, but if so, maybe that would also make it more affordable. I also had qualms about future implications of this, but sometimes you just have to take a chance and hopes the benefits outweigh the risks. |
