No, it doesn’t change a thing.
An edge of a wedge is still an edge.
I suppose its a side issue, but can someone answer this question?
How does a president get to tell an entire industry that they must give something away “free”? where does this authority come from?
“the religious employer will not be required to provide, pay for or refer for contraception coverage, but her insurance company will be required to directly offer her contraceptive care free of charge.”
Obama shows no understanding of how insurance works (sort of disturbing since he takes such an interest in it).
My company self insures...we pay BC/BS to manage our paperwork and put a ‘face’ on our insurance plan. But make no mistake, its our money, in its own little pot. This is a common way for mid sized companies to insure its employees.
Where does O think insurance companies get their money anyway? ;Somebody else’s stash?
What sucks is that you and I are paying for the murder of unborn children.
How does that make you feel?
What this really tells me is that the entire administration has no idea how medical insurance works. (or, they don’t care, it’s just a sound bite, we’ll figure out the details later...)
Of course, mandating payment and coverage takes it out of the realm of insurance anyway, and makes it strictly a 3rd party payer.
Which is why all medical insurance companies will go broke within a few years.
For instance- if you can’t exclude the idiot who keeps gasoline in his attic from getting fire insurance, then it’s not really insurance, right?
NOTHING IS FREE.
They can raise the rates, and call it free but the insured is paying for it.
Why does Obama feel that Birth Control Sterilisation, and Abortions should be free or paid for by those who do not want them.
If you want Birth Control fine. BUY it.
Abortion? It’s your choice PAY for it.
Sterilisation? Great Pay for it.
Why shoud I have to pay because some teen ager can’t keep her legs closed.
Any one asked the Hispanics (who are largely Catholic) what they think?
It comes down to 1 thing....who are they to force anyone to do anything?
So did obummer renege or not...At the end of the day, he still has his hand in someone’s pocket — Nothing in life is free.
