Blood?
Bread, not blood.
Will someone please change the title of this post...to read...Bread, rather than Blood! LOL Although I know Obama is bleeding this country to death I doubt anyone wants blood from their neighborhood supermarket. Sometimes typos are just funny. You are excused!
Yes, of course blood. Forced to buy health care, why not forced to give blood? Soon we will be forced to donate kidneys and other organs to the unhealthy ruling elite and Hollywood stars.
Even RINO Sen. Hatch understands that if 0bamacare stands, there is NOTHING that will be off limits.
We will legally become wards of Obama’s estate. Many will fall for the Marxist trap especially if he is successful in redistributing sexual relations. The State owns your body.
(My body will likely be used for scrap ... or maybe Soylent Green :)
The grocers are rich, why shouldn’t have to give blood?
Obama “solution” = Or else
Hatch’s comments beg this question: (Gonna get LOUD NOW!)
WHY THE HELL AREN’T THESE PUBBIES IN THE SENATE DOING A NON-STOP FILABUSTER EVERY TIME OBOZO GOES UNCONSTITUTIONAL?
Possible reasons:
* Never having actually READ the Consitution, they don’t know what is or isn’t constitutional.
* They all have allowed to take root here a welfare system that has put so many constitutionally illiterate Obozobots on the welfare — and VOTER — rolls that they’d run the risk of losing the cushiest job they’ve ever had.
* Many of them believe that if they just sit down, shut up and lick a few boots, they’ll be the princes in the coming totalitarian regime. That said, I recall one Ernst Rohm and cohorts who went well beyond the boot licking stage and ultimately had their participation and loyalty to Hitler repaid in bullets. Ditto Stalin, Mao, Castro, etc.
I said all of that to offer this: If ANY of those points are correct, this country is FUBAR and we are in for some very bad times.
I’m more than willing to send Obama a stool sample.
Pig's blood?
Blood sausage?
What?
OK, the Twilight series of books has now gone too far.
I think the “compromise” is even worse than the original mandate (if such a thing is possible).
First, as the article points out, it forces insurers to give coverage for “free”, and this sets a horrible precedent.
But, in the real world, the insurers will simply raise the rates they charge religious institutions that object to covering contraceptives on moral grounds, anyway. Of course, the contraceptive coverage will be officially “free”, but the premiums to cover everything else will go up by whatever the contraceptive coverage would cost.
Roman Catholic and other religious organizations, and their employees who contribute to health insurance costs, will STILL be paying for contraceptive coverage.
The idea that insurance companies are simply going to absorb millions of dollars of costs, rather than passing them on by sneaking them into the premiums, is absurd.
If Obama can force us to pay money for health insurance, ordering the able bodied to donate blood, which literally saves lives, is not out of scope.
So I'll be able to walk into the local Walgreen's and pick up a pack of Trojans for free? Or will it only cover contraceptives for women? Isn't sterilization an elective surgery? Why is there such a focus only on women's health issues? What's next? Free sex change operations?
Once they set up a system wherein other people pay for part of your upkeep, you are no longer a free man. You are obligated to secure their investment. You are basically livestock and your neighbor has a share in you that the government can safeguard in the interests of your neighbor.
Government health care thus diminishes your freedom, in the name of concern for your neighbor’s stake in you.
Here's the situation in terms that any liberal should be able to understand.Suppose you only have two restaurants in town, a Pizza Hut and a Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Now suppose that some people want hamburgers, perhaps even employees of the Pizza Hut, so they tell Pizza Hut that they must sell them hamburgers.
Pizza Hut says no, their purpose is to sell pizzas, and that the person must go elsewhere to find hamburgers.
The person says that there isn't another choice for them to conveniently get hamburgers, so Pizza Hut must be forced to sell them hamburgers against its wishes.
The grand compromise is for Pizza Hut to give the people coupons to take to Kentucky Fried Chicken, and then force Kentucky Fried Chicken to sell hamburgers.

apparently they can according to Dems. The states can according to some “conservatives”.
I say NO WAY
I have avoided the issue of contraceptives, etc and have just stuck under what authority can the government mandate citizens to purchase any consumer product?
