Women comprise biggest opposition to ObamaCare
NY Post ^ | December 27, 2013

Posted on 12/27/2013 2:44:34 AM PST by Zakeet

Remember Julia? That cute little cartoon the Obama folks created to illustrate how the president’s policies would provide “health and economic security” for women at all of life’s stages?

The real-life Julias aren’t buying.

A CNN/ORC International poll out this week finds 60 percent of women opposing ObamaCare. This follows a Kaiser Health Tracking Poll that found half of American women holding an unfavorable view of the law — against only 32 percent in support. In fact, almost all of the increase in the overall unpopularity of ObamaCare can be attributed to the growing number of women rebelling against it.

No doubt this explains why First Lady Michelle Obama has just launched her own campaign to get young people to “ring in the New Year with new coverage.” The White House knows it has a big problem with women.

We can’t say we’re surprised.

Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned.

Women are anxious to trust and believe. Prove to be a threat and the opposite instead and your in deep and there will never, ever be a way back.

They will try, though.

Just heard from a rabid liberal relative by marriage. She included a screen shot of a liberal screed proclaiming that she was more than willing to pay an extra fifty cents for an order of fries if it meant the worker wouldn’t have to work 3 jobs to make ends meet.

Of course, it will be more than .50 and not just on the fries.

She is covered by her employer and doubtless will bravely endure anything at all in the name of *compassion* and *equality*. I suspect she will be asking her parents for money if her insurance is cut, increased and also drops her husband and daughter.

Some folks will never abandon the Progs.

It’s not free. That’s the problem.

I hope the leftist women have discovered that their "free" birth control, which they could have paid for themselves at Walmart for $9 a month, is now costing them $400 a month in Obamacare premiums.

Maybe they should have listened to that evil misogynist Ted Cruz. They should blame Sandra Fluke and Nasty Pelosi, two of their favorite feminist icons. Or they could put on their vagina costumes and march on the White House.

P.S., I was a non-believer in Obama from the first time I heard him speak, and that was in 2004. I've been just astounded at the lack of critical thinking among so many of my fellow women.

Y'know?

We’ve just discovered that, at the age of forty seven, my ‘free birth control’ will cost us nearly twenty five thousand dollars a year between premiums and the $12.5K deductible.

Yeah. But I can get ‘free birth control’. That my OB would never prescribe at my age due to risk of blood clots and stroke. But if she did want to get sued for prescribing that with my risk factors, I could get it for FREE!

My college age girls bought into his crap over just that issue. One is now in law school and is beginning to understand. The other still has a few more years of learning what she wants, not what she needs.

It will come. When you piss off women, there is no relief, ever.
