-- Next week I am sure we'll see Boehner and McConnell on all the news programs railing about Americans paying for birth control while diabetics struggle to pay a quarterly $1200 co-pay for insulin. --

And then what? Propose and advocate a federal law that mandates insurance without co-pay for diabetics?

Of course not!

If Boehner and McConnell had any kind of gift of gab or rhetorical talent, they’d get the marbles out of their mouth (anybody thinks Boehner and McConnell going to be on all the news shows might need a bridge I got right here to sell, CHEAP)....they’d use that example and go on to explain that EVERYBODY has a deductible and a co-pay for drugs and for the gubmint to mandate that only BC pills be exempted from this begs the debate that ALL drug co-pays and deductibes be considered all in terms of cost, need , etc.

Why should women get their nine bucks a month co-pay for BC pills exempted?

It ain’t rocket science folks. The Repubs got an argument here and they should be using it beyond making a radio talk show host apologize.

Because it AIN’T about a radio talk show host, dear Lord.

“And then what...”

And then segway to this nation borrowing 42 cents out of every dollar. That we can’t afford the health care entitlements we have, much less start another entitlement (that is only tangentially related to healthcare). That we need to use our limited resources for those who are suffering from real illness.
