The health insurance mandate IS NOT PAID FOR BY TAXPAYERS! It means that YOU and/or your EMPLOYER pay for PRIVATE health insurance. IT IS NOT SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!

Re: Other things I am stabby about regarding birth control & Rush
I know, right? People are stupid.
But people like Rush, and some of the other conservative talking heads who make bajillions of dollars by thinking and talking about nothing else DO know better and they lie to the public to scare them into voting against their own good just for the sake of power and money.
The general public who listens to this crap without checking is out is sad and unfortunate. The people who knowingly spread the lies and manipulation are downright immoral if not criminal.
I just a friendly gal looking for options.

I agree. It's unfortunate that people walk around adamant that their opinions are based on facts, but they never take the time to actually look into why they have certain opinions and beliefs.

and by the way -- it's totally okay for a woman to take hbc just to have sex. there's no shame in it.
The woman I've been (foolishly) arguing about this with on FB keeps saying Fluke wants taxpayers to pay 100% of her birth control costs. And on top of that, that Fluke only wants 100% coverage for women - not for any male birth control like vasectomies.
It makes me wonder where she's getting this. I mean, Fox news spins facts, but I think even they at least start with facts?
[QUOTE]the main thing i am mad about is that it is not about sex. rush made it all about sex (<strong>of course, he is a pill-popping, dominican republic sex tourist</strong>) but fluke's testimony was about the various MEDICAL reasons why women take hbc. and by the way -- it's totally okay for a woman to take hbc just to have sex. there's no shame in it.
