We need universal healthcare to take burden off employees and employers alike.
I do not mind plans covering birth control. In fact, I think birth control ought to be strongly encouraged.

I couldn't agree more.

Last time someone told me to go to the ER, because of an infection, I bought antibiotics off eBay instead and just took them for about 3 weeks and I was fine after that. I spent $100 vs what a hospital stay would have cost me, just because they wanted to treat me the most expensive way possible (with an antibiotic IV, which would have worked quicker, but cost thousands). Instead I used my brain and searched the internet for an alternative which said that you really only need to go to a hospital if taking oral antibiotics for a month doesn't work. Knowing that no local doctor would prescribe that for me, I went the eBay route
There are so many fake meds that are for sale on the interwebs it's crazy. Not only that, but failure to treat an infection appropriately is what has led to the MRSA epidemic that exists in our country.
It really depends upon the infection, and any comorbidities you might have. Google/ebay don't replace a good MD.

if an employer DOES drop their insurance, either due to fears of Obamacare or simply due to rising costs? Do the employees pick up their own insurance?
Don't employers offer insurance as a retention strategy anyway, a perk?
