H'mm..another philosophical view coming onto the stage...if payment for care of conditions that could have been prevented by earlier prudent patient choices becomes an accepted screen for either receiving covered care or for paying out of pocket, there are going to millions of folks sick from disease or accidents looking at out of pocket expenses...its a slippery slope, given the multiplicity of conditions that can traced backe to individual choice first cause status.

Absolutely, but if a women who did not get the vaccine ends up with a high grade lesion or invasive cancer in her tweenties or thirties which is proved to have one of the serotypes covered by the vaccine, should the state or insurance company be obligated to pay for her treatment. Where does responsibilty for the choices you make start or stop. Does she get to sue her parents for not allowing her to have the vaccine. Too bad having sex is not associated with a profitable product like smoking is, its never the smokers fault its always the tabacco companies.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
