@ Quote of the day: Brownie points for honesty?
“Who pays for contraceptives if a faith-based employer won’t?”
Taxpayers pay for lots of things that may not know or be happy about. Won’t change until we continue being a poorly informed society.
“No insurer is offering to sell plans through the federal health law’s marketplaces in 36 of Mississippi’s 82 counties, including some of the poorest parts of the Delta region.”
Doesn’t this undermine the whole point of the law?
Yes. Obamacare doesn’t really work.
“Yes. Obamacare doesn’t really work.”
JD, I thank that, in turn, is the whole point of Obamacare.
“See, we tried it your way with private insurers. Didn’t work. Made people mad. Now HHS must take over, fix the mess, and do everything for you.”
Not an efficient way to the end game, but certainly the government way.
“Spying on allies is not unusual,” John Kerry
– I have to agree with Kerry.. Since when is it wrong to spy on allies?
Agree. We’ve spied on all allies since before WWII. It’s the nature of politics and statesmanship.
Agreed as well. And if we think our allies aren’t spying on us then we are kidding ourselves.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Everybody involved on both sides knows that it happens. It really shouldn’t be a shock to the citizenry.

So, citizens are paying for things that they are religiously opposed to anyway. It’ll be interesting to see what comes of these challenges. If a company doesn’t have to pay for things that they have a religious objection to, then should an individual be required to? The idea of involuntary taxation starts falling apart quickly.

Ultimately, it’s workers who pay for employer coverage. Yet employers have good reason to fight the employer mandate — because they often have a difficult time getting workers to bear the cost in the form of reduced take-home pay.
Employers should fight this battle over the morality of forcing employers to collect from employees to cover something that government wants employees to have; not the morality of birth control.
I believe it should be up to the health plan whether to cover contraceptives. It should be left to workers to decide their reproductive future.
