While I agree with you that we should always question their motives, I think it’s important for our fellow citizens to see some of the absurd things that are required to be in EVERY policy.

WHY should maternity be in the policy of EVERY American?

Why should ASPIRIN be paid for by insurance AND required in every policy?

If you’re a reckless driver, then you should have to have that kind of car insurance, but I’m not, and the government shouldn’t be requiring me to have it.

If you like fragrance in your car, then go buy it, you shouldn’t have the government requiring it in EVERY car insurance policy.

This kind of nonsense is exactly what opens peoples’ eyes sometimes about the difference between too much government and a government that only handles essential items for governments. When they start thinking along those lines, then it’s possible that good can follow close behind.

Your argument is a good one, but with medical care the insurance issue is much more complicated than that. Sure, it's ludicrous to think that an auto insurance policy would cover something like air fresheners.

But what about oil changes? At first glance it would seem silly for an auto insurance policy to cover routine maintenance like an oil change. But what if an auto insurance policy covered powertrain failures in addition to loss and damage from collisions, theft, etc.? In a hypothetical case like that (which might be a good parallel to medical insurance), the insurance company has a huge financial incentive not only to cover oil changes, but to require you to have the oil changed regularly as a condition of maintaining your insurance.

I’m glad you posted the article. I’m NOT against the exposition of the listed absurdities, and have often called for in my commentaries the exposing of Leftist idiocies.

MY POINT being we need be more active exposing the true motives of the Marxists.

Obamacare is a tool, a stealth transport tool to sneak past our populace’s sensibilities, our securities under the guise of healthcare the basis of the control the Marxist’s require to establish a form of government the Marxist’s can protect long enough for it to become accepted as the ruling entity. It doesn’t take much time once established for the masses to acquiesce. They already are.
