How Ayn Rand's Bizarre Philosophy Made the New Right so Toxic: Rand's psychopathic ideas made billionaires feel like victims and turned millions of followers into their doormats.

I think its interesting that so many people blindly follow/love Ayn Rand and her books. I don't believe she would respect those people. In the Fountainhead she clearly doesn't have any respect for people that can't think for themselves, and portrays people that regurgitate their philosophy from books and fools and idiots.

Haha. No problem.

You seem to have a very reasonable suggestion about how to improve access to safe sex. I hope that we can generally improve knowledge and access among both men and women.

Depending on where you live, free condoms should be already be available. Look for local non-profit health centers, family planning clinics, health departments, and agencies dedicated to prevention of HIV & AIDS.

You may be able to use this service locator to find health centers and family planning clinics in your area. I hope this helps.

I wrote in greater detail about some of these options in response to your other comment.

Since this mandate refers to copayments and insurance coverage, I do not believe that condoms are covered.

HOWEVER, the U.S. government (mainly through the CDC) currently distributes condoms through local health departments and non-profits (such as HIV/AIDS agencies).

In Philadelphia, PA, for example, the city offers a map of free condom distributors with numerous locations and will even mail residents condoms. The city also offers a mobile app.

NYC has a similar program available.

The Affordable Care Act mandates that a number of preventative services be covered without having to make a copayment, including: HIV testing, lead screening for children, alcohol abuse counseling, smoking cessation, STI counseling and much more.
