I have a $15,000 deductible...
And all I got was a lousy $4 generic birth control package.

Two Colorado non-profits are coming under fire from both the right and the left for a pair of ads aimed at getting young people to sign up for Obamacare that are being described as sexist and demeaning.
ProgressNow Colorado and the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative had already raised eyebrows with one of their earlier ads targeting young men that showed guys doing keg stands with the caption, "got insurance?"
But among a new bunch of ads targeting young woman, two that tout birth control coverage under the Affordable Care Act have drawn much more fire.
One shows a happy woman giving the thumbs up while holding a packet of birth-control pills and standing next to a pleased-looking man. The text reads, in part, "Let's get physical. OMG, he's hot! Let's hope he's as easy to get as this birth control. My health insurance covers the pill, which means all I have to worry about is getting him between the covers."
The other shows an excited young women, also holding a pack of birth control pills, as she's standing next to a life-sized cardboard cutout of actor Ryan Gosling. Its text reads, "Hey Girl. You're excited about easy access to birth control and I'm excited about getting to know you. She got insurance. Now you can too."
The two groups aren't backing down, however.
Amy Runyon-Harms of ProgressNow Colorado told the Denver Post, "The whole intention of these ads is to raise awareness, and that's what we're doing. It's great that more and more people are talking about it."
Yes! Just let the Left keep talking and creating ad campaigns and sooner or later they will screw up and reveal their true nature.
Hit them from the left too. “Shamefully heteronormative. Where are the LBGT... couples? Where is the polyamory?”
Yep——they reduce man to godless rutting animals (Marxism) who can’t control base instincts and need Daddy government to make all important decisions for us-——even the time of death, via the government Death Panels.
A government is supposed to always promote “Virtue” in everything it does-—otherwise it is “unjust”-—and evil........ (Justice—is the Queen of Virutes and it is why America created a “Justice” System (Virtue System) which is the highest law of the land).
Virtue is necessary for Free Republics (Socrates). The only reason for education is to teach Virtue (Socrates). Wisdom is discerning Good and Evil (Socrates). The State is trying to condition our children and the young to be Satanic Marxists——they are normalizing vice and immoral behavior because they want dumb useful idiots who believe Evil is Good-—Slavery is Freedom.
A Justice System is based on ethics of Good and Evil-—our Legal System is based on the Judeo-Christian Ethic System only-—our Rights come from the Judeo-Christian God——the God worshipped which created the Age of Reason and Science and the USA.
For this regime to throw out Christian Ethics-—like this ad does-—is unconstitutional since it promotes Vice and Justice—demands the promotion of Virtue ONLY!
Orwellian crazy.

( The Rush apology I mean)
where are the black and asian sluts? I saw only white sluts.
Amy is proud of her company’s offensive & juvenile ad campaign.
They are sexist and demeaning. Sadly, they are also accurately depicting the voting block who gave us Obama - twice.
(^_^)
Wait, isn't the whole contraceptive mandate discrimination against lesbians and gays? It, too is plainly heteronormative.
And why is my spell-checker only flagging my typing of the absurd neologism "heteronormative" as misspelled, while giving the identically spelled instance copied from your post a pass?
The campaign fits right in with liberalism -
be as irresponsible as you want to - someone else will pay for the consequences.
words in quotes are skipped by the spell checker, as are all caps (usually)
“where are the black and asian sluts? I saw only white sluts.”
The black ones all seem to be on “The Maury Show”; Asian cultures don’t allow sluts (unless you travel to Asia).
What other major ad campaign can make that claim?
I’m sure Miley would approve. She should have been in that ad.
The “shotskis” ad reminded me of “a gram beats a damn!”
Yeah. Either Miley or Sandra Fluck.
