Really?
The healthcare bill has a mandate that employers with 50 or more employees must provide health insurance or pay a fine (read tax).Individuals who do not get healthcare via their employer (all those companies with fewer than 50 employees, 1099's etc) will be required to buy insurance or pay a fine (read tax).
All people below a certain poverty line, or unemployed will be subsidized by the government so that they can get "affordable care." Tell me how we won't be paying for the 47% who already don't pay any taxes?
Please remember that we are talking about 1/6 of the US economy when we talk about healthcare...
Oh yes we will be paying, and how.
edit on 2-3-2012 by MsAphrodite because: 47%

Bravo Obama...good for you. Maybe some conservatives can take some notes on how to make a statement on the issue while staying above the pettiness.
And this is the difference between liberals and conservatives.
Liberal view on women using contraception: It is their right to be able to plan their future with contraception, it is a medical issue and thus should be covered under health insurance.
Conservative view on women using contraception: They are whores and sluts who should keep their legs closed.
The same type of thinking goes for homosexuals, the poor, and immigrants.
Liberals on homosexuals: They are people too, government shouldn't rule who you should love. Their HUMAN rights should be protected.
Conservatives on homosexuals: Screw em, They are disgusting perverts and should be shamed into conforming to MY views.
Liberals on the poor: We should help people who have fallen on hard times.
Conservatives on the poor: Screw em, they are lazy idiots that just want to leech off of us.
Liberals on immigrants: We should be accepting to people who want to come here and make a better life for themselves, we should make it easier on them to come here legally.
Conservative on immigrants: Screw em...they look different, speak different, and act different than "true" Americans...we got here first...they can go back to where they came from.
I really think people who have voted Republican for decades may finally be waking up to the fact that they have been decieved to vote against their own, and fellow countrymens, interests.edit on 2-3-2012 by OutKast Searcher because: (no reason given)
I have spoken to 7 women this evening about this and shown them the article, and they all laughed and thought this woman was a joke, and they also don't like Rush too much, but they were siding with him on this...

Well, yeah, if that is my only choices in the matter then I guess I'll opt for the donation for this poor, (but very voracious) woman so she can keep busy, although with her libido being so high (according to the way she comes across in this article), one would think she might be needing further medical attention)

She can go to any Planned Parenthood and get free contraceptives right now.

I even saw many women's posts about this on Yahoo, and they were all supporting Rush's side of the argument because they thought it was ludicrous for everyone else to pay for this woman's BC products just because she doesn't want to pay, or can't afford it..
