If Trump allows businesses to avoid offering contraceptives to their employees --

[Akamai]

How can we know who they are, so we can avoid doing any business at all with them?

Any ideas? Suggestions?

[brokephibroke]

1. Perhaps folks will post on Glassdoor.

I doubt any public company would limit contraception.

[Else You Are Mad]

3. I disagree.

Public corporations only exist to make the most profits for the shareholders, and they will maximize even more profits by excluding contraceptives for their lower paid workers and non-executives.

[Akamai]

6. then Fuck 'em and let them feel pain! Many lives are going to be made

more difficult by stopping women from controlling their options.

[Else You Are Mad]

8. I don't disagree.

But, it will make them more money and that is all they care about. It is the same reason why the minimum wage is so low. They lobby to keep it low. Corporations do not care about their workers and this is no different. The people that can afford to quit their jobs and make a lateral career change to a different company would be the same people that would be more likely to have their insurance include contraceptives. The working poor do not have that luxury.

America is a fucking cesspool when it comes to health care and woman's rights.

10. They need to compete for good employees

And anyone with skills and intelligence will not work in a repressive organization. At least I hope so....

[Else You Are Mad]

11. After the last few years...

They just don't care anymore. Most corporations are in a race to the bottom to make most profits.

[brokephibroke]

14. There is no way companies like

Microsoft, alphabet, apple, Costco, ge,etc limit benefits. Ok, maybe some companies in red states do it, but not if they want to grow....

Smaller companies in red states who hate people in general may try to implement that crap.

[Akamai]

26. I sure hope you are correct!!!

[Demsrule86]

33. Totally wrong...employees are not valued these days period.

[Dem2]

15. Why would they do that?

It's not in their interest to do such childish things - not going to save them that much

[Else You Are Mad]

17. Neither would paying their employees equal wages.

But they don't do that either.

Corporations don't care if it saves them pennies, they will do it.

[Dem2]

18. I agree with the person above

Some regressive s******* redstate companies may do it but most companies in blue areas like where I live would never do such a stupid thing.

[Else You Are Mad]

20. Unless it hurts their bottom line.

Maybe you are right, but there are very few good corporations these days.

[Dem2]

22. Companies try to have a reasonable reputation to potential female hires

If they have a bad reputation for hiring women or treating women different than men, it could be disastrous for their bottom line.

I guess we'll see. If I can boycott a company that would do such a thing, I will.

[Else You Are Mad]

23. Don't get me wrong...

I really want you to be right. I just don't have much faith in our greed economy.

[Dem2]

25. I don't either

And right now employees don't have the power they used to have, but if the economy heats up again, they will have to compete for good hires.

[citood]

28. Some companies pay 100 percent for vasectomies

Any monetary motive would lead a company to avoid paying for pregnancy.

[GoCubsGo]

16. Isn't Hobby Lobby a public company?

[brokephibroke]

19. Private

No way they could withstand the light of public reporting.

[Dem2]

24. And here's a company that I not only boycott

But I actively tell other people don't shop there and I flip them the bird whenever I am near.

[GoCubsGo]

29. My boycott of them began even before the contraception thing.

That place gives me the creeps. Aisle after aisle of cheap Chinese CRAP, and religious music piped through the store... If I need some craft item, I hold my nose and go to Walmart. (We have no Michael's here.)

[MichMary]

30. They also pay their employees well

So--six of one, half a dozen of the other.

The daughter of an old friend of mine works there. They treat her well, and she loves it.

[Dem2]

31. Religious Nazis

I don't care what they do after the Supreme Court case.

[Demsrule86]

34. I never shop there...and this hypocritical company

does not offer maternity benefits...they sell worthless Chinese crap anyway.

[Else You Are Mad]

2. My guess is...

Is every major publicly traded corporation and most private corporations will do away with contraceptive coverage for their lower level employees and their families. And, of course, any small to medium sized business that cares more about profits over employees.

Sadly, greed will ensure that most businesses will exclude contraceptives -- even if it is for other health reasons other than birth control -- from their insurance policies.

[Akamai]

27. I don't think you are right about this. But really, any change that makes it more

difficult for women should be stopped.

[Voltaire2]

4. As usual this will disproportionately affect

trump supporters. However these same people are really bad at connecting the dots and will be convinced that Mexicans stole their birth control or some other covfefe.

[smirkymonkey]

5. The thing is, most major corporations want to attract the best talent. If they were to enact this

ridiculous law they would see a huge reduction in their talent base. Most well educated, high-level candidates would not sign on with a company that subscribed to such a ridiculous curtailment of benefits.

I know for a fact that my company would not go along with it and our employees would not support a company that did either. Don't think that companies don't know that they would lose a lot of their best employees if they went along with this. They stand to lose the best and the brightest.

I would like to think most of them are not that stupid.

[Akamai]

7. You bet! but for restaurant chains, etc., I would like to know who would deny

their workers this basic human options.

This so everyone can COMPLETELY AVOID THEM NOW AND FOR (FUCKING) EVER!

[smirkymonkey]

9. I completely agree.

I would not patronize an establishment that ever denied their workers basic human rights and decent healthcare options. They will suffer for their greed. However that will also hurt the workers. I don't really know the answer to this, but if corporations are being threatened with going out of business because of their greedy, hateful actions, perhaps they will reconsider their options.

[Demsrule86]

35. You can't know that...and what about rightie groups that organize

boycotts to stop contraception coverage? It will happen.

[Yupster]

12. This is reason number 247 why we need national health care

Why should your employer have anything at all to do with whether you use birth control or not?

Health insurance and employment should have nothing to do with each other.

[Demsrule86]

36. There a tons of reasons single payer would be the best and no way of getting it

in the foreseeable future.

[lostnfound]

13. Choice for corporations but not for women. Nt

[Else You Are Mad]

21. Corporations are...

The only people that matter these days.

[Buckeyeblue]

32. Most companies will continue to offer bc

Of course, not for the right reasons but because maternity leave is expensive, both from a cost and lack of productivity perspective. Companies run by crazies will not.

[Demsrule86]

37. I don't think they will...most companies don't offer maternity leave these days...

In fact I was shocked to learn that a Mahoning school system does not offer maternity leave anymore.
