Modern Monetary Theory

Strongly agree

Yes

Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) focuses on the government's ability to create and spend money without worrying about deficits. While MMT does not inherently address social issues like birth control, it generally supports government-funded programs and services. Therefore, MMT would likely agree with requiring health insurance providers to offer free birth control, as it would be seen as a public good and a way to reduce healthcare costs.

Agree

Yes, except for religious organizations and charities that oppose the use of contraception

While MMT does not inherently address social issues, it generally supports government-funded programs and services. This answer aligns with MMT's preference for government involvement in providing services, but it also includes exceptions for religious organizations and charities. MMT might not have a strong stance on these exceptions, so the score is lower than for Answer 1.

Slightly disagree

No, it should be covered like any other prescription

While MMT generally supports government-funded programs and services, this answer suggests that birth control should be covered like any other prescription, which may not align with the MMT preference for providing services that promote public welfare and reduce healthcare costs. However, this answer does not directly oppose government involvement in providing services, so the score is not as negative as for some other answers.

Strongly disagree

No

MMT generally supports government-funded programs and services, so it would likely disagree with the idea that health insurance providers should not be required to offer free birth control. MMT would argue that the government has the ability to fund such services without worrying about deficits, and that providing free birth control would be a public good and help reduce healthcare costs.

Very strongly disagree

No, the government should support abstinence programs instead

MMT focuses on the government's ability to create and spend money without worrying about deficits, and it generally supports government-funded programs and services. This answer, which suggests that the government should support abstinence programs instead of providing free birth control, goes against the general MMT preference for providing services that promote public welfare and reduce healthcare costs.
