I wish I could use italics in my reply as you are doing. It makes this much easier to read. But I am doing this on a stupid Tablet, and don’t know how.
In our posts, it seems we both understand that people don’t want to pay for other people’s BC, and many don’t want to have support for its use mandated if they are morally opposed to it.
Jindal’s lame-brained idea is to accomodate this thinking within the framework of Obamacare. So rather than fight Obamacare with this valid issue, he concedes on Obamacare completely by trying to remove the issue.
Let’s try to think a few steps ahead, which is something a Democrat would never be caught dead doing.
How will this “solution” work for abortion, which you know is coming next? Can you “legislate” that it is not a medical procedure? Make it not covered by private health-care?
Jindal’s “solutuon” is moronic. It plays directly into the Democrat’s hand. The Demicrats have politicized healthcare. They need to get burned by people’s dislike of what they are doing. Sandra Fluke is a loathsome albatros that we should drag out every chance we get.
This just sounds like another political intrusion into healthcare, trying to get Obamacare to work. Jindal should just switch parties if this is what he thinks is right.
I think perhaps we have a different idea of what Jindal’s proposal is.
Jindal is simply saying that we should make birth control pills ‘over the counter’. This removes it from Obamacare. It is no longer a prescription and no longer covered.
It almost seems like you believe we are winning this debate as is. We aren’t. Not even close. Playing Santa Claus is a very successful ploy for Democrats, and promising to give away free prescription birth control to women has just proven itself to be an electoral winner.
Lets get the government out of this altogether is basically what I understand Jindal to be advocating. Make it ‘over the counter’ and we no longer need to worry about insuring it as a prescription drug.
