11. Health care for women is a JOKE

The primary needs are for family planning, pregnancy and childbirth. The latter two are not covered unless the woman pays triple premiums for a family policy and that sucker better be in place before she even thinks of getting pregnant because they will not pay if they suspect she was pregnant before she got it.

It's a sick joke played on all the women of this country. It would not be tolerated in any other country, but this country is convinced all evil lies between a woman's legs and is 100% her responsibility to take care of, don't bother the nice men with it unless they're horny.

The whole structure is repellent.
