Pills and more pills…

There are times when I wish I were in the room with some of these Liberal politicians when it gets a little heated. But that’s impossible because I would be less concerned about re-election as much as I would be about setting some of these opportunistic ideologues back on their heels.

I was interested to hear the line of questioning by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y at the “contraception hearing” on Capitol Hill today when she asked “where are all the women”. Now one would say this is a good question considering the topic, and that’s where you’d be dead wrong.

The question of whether I want to pay for some else’s birth control is a simple one for me, albeit with a complicated explanation complete with political rational. The answer BTW, is emphatically NO!

That said, and after I thought about it a little more, the question was a complete and well thought out political haymaker. A cheap low ball designed to embarrass the clergy in the room and score points with all the Lefty media sitting on the floor with cameras and cramps. The problem is, and here goes my email ticker, it doesn’t have anything to do with women. If Maloney has a beef with the Catholic Church, or any church for that matter about what their “doctrine” is, then she should take it up with that church and not the American Taxpayer damn it. Furthermore, if all those hypocrites who like to identify with a particular faith but not with its principles and/or tenets have issues, then they should park their behinds in their respective church pews and take it up with their Pastors, Priests or whomever makes them feel all warm and fuzzy, and leave me out of it. I am sick to death of some people looking to the government to somehow legitimize them and everything they do!

Now I know I’ll get a bunch of mail shredding me for my lack of compassion and insight concerning the plight of every American woman in the country, but two things are for certain. And they are that: 1. If you frame the question properly and ask Americans whether they would support this mandate initiative (if it were to violate the tenets of a person’s faith), I am sure most folks would say absolutely not. And 2. The last thing in the world some crack whore is gonna be worried about while she is going about whatever it is she goes about, is trotting out to the local pharmacy to get some free pills, never mind taking them, and I don’t give a rats xxx what Bob Beckel says…

And remember: When the insurance company pays, you pay. It’s as simple as that…

    The real question is this: Should an employer’s religious and/or moral beliefs allow him to pick and choose what health care he includes in his employees’ health care? If you are Catholic, can you not cover contraception? Can you deny coverage for treatment of cervical cancer because it originated from HPV virus that one got from having unprotected sex? If you are an employer who is a Jehovah’s Witness, should you be able to not cover blood transfusions for your employees? I’m sure glad that my health insurance covered blood products when I needed seven units of blood during emergency stomach surgery back in 1988.

      Firstly Scott, I would have to believe healthcare was a right and should be “mandated”, which I do not. I too received blood transfusions not once, but three times and I’m sure glad they were covered. With that said, I worked hard to attain my skill set and education which allowed me to procure the job I did and which came with that “benefit” as part of my overall compensation package. I also ran my dad’s business for time when he was ill and paid for my own benefits as he did for most of his working life.
      Simply put Scott, I believe the free market can get this stuff right with minimal interference less any (basic) consumer protections. When the government begins mandating things like “family planning”, it is as I have said, a costly and slippery slope. Any employer should have the option to shop for and attain a “benefit” package for its employees which satisfies its beliefs and cost ratios. And this could certainly be accomplished by opening up state borders to insurers with a plethora of different offerings. And if those employees have a beef with what is offered, they may re-enter the job market and attain a job which offers one to their liking…
