I loathe the fact that health insurance these days is being used to pay for usless non emergency CRAP like routine checkups and getting moles frozen off, which increaes the cost of routine maintencne as people tend to abuse subsidiezed crap.
If you had to plunk down 50 to 100 bucks everytime you had to go see the doc for a sniffle or cough more people would instead spend 10 bucks for a dozen cans of chicken soup instead of wasting doctor’s time.
It is like expecting your car insurance to cover the damned cost of oil changes and car washes...
And even if his girlfriend ended-up pregnant, she in all likelihood wouldn’t be covered under the policy.
A typical reply of a misogynist male chauvinist pig. He might be responsible for getting her pregnant because every male is a potential rapist. < / sarcasm >
I got "paternity leave" when my kids were born in the late 80's / early 90's. They typically gave 3 days off with pay on a moment's notice. I saw them give other men more when babies or Mom's had complications in birth. Shoot, they gave me some comp days and didn't make me count vacation when my granddaughter was born and had to go in NICU for 10 days ("Go be with your family" was all that was said).
No Government mandates - just a good loyalty building investment from a company that had to compete in the free market for my continuing services. It worked - I worked there for 25 years and never so much as interviewed for another company...unusual for a high tech industry. Many, many 10+ year employees. And we paid it back by working extra (all salaried people) covering for others when their time came.
We may need it after all the sc**wings we have been receiving from the Obama Administration.
So if we’re talking about policies for single people, is Ellmers saying that there should be a men’s insurance plan and a woman’s ensurance plan? Men’s plan wouldn’t cover breast cancer or pregnancy, women’s plan wouldn’t cover prostate cancer or vasectomies? Something like that? Would the government then have to force insurance companies to develop a cafeteria-style system of policies?
She used the wrong example since men do help make babies. A better example would be octogenarians required by law to pay for “coverage” for prenatal care. Why would they ever need that?
The bottom line here is that Democratcare is a huge tax increase, wealth transfer and assault on the middle class. Marxists always hated the middle class the most. Nothing new here.
Maybe she’s right, BECAUSE MEN ARE DEFINITELY F*CKED BY OBAMACARE!
Will this man deliver a baby or did he just eat one?
“What about gays?”
OB/PROC ?
Are not the costs for the men plans twice the cost for the womens plans?
Why is that?
Let me get this right...
Sebelius said “The individual policies cover families.” ?
WTF?
I mean, really, WTF?
Dear LORD forgive me... I hate these people and I know that is wrong. Amen.
I can’t wait to hear the lawyers scream when they nationalize/socialize medical malpractice insurance.
Amend the ACA to require that the Secretary of HHS enroll in Obamacare. The Secretary must have skin in the game.
It costs real money for doctors to deliver items such as cell phones, flashlights, assorted vegetables and a sundry of other items. /S, /S
“Has a man ever delivered a baby?”
Oh boy. They better put a stretcher in that room. If they start asking questions that require Democrats to think and tell the truth, those Democrat heads are going to start exploding like overripe pumpkins.
