Woman Who Can't Afford Her Own Birth Control Scrapes Up Money For Congressional Run

[Felch]

It's actually a chicken or the egg situation. Do I choose to only **** stupid girls, or are the only girls willing to **** me the stupid ones? Maybe I just rationalize the rejection I receive from smart girls and tell myself that that ***** ain't worth it. I'm so confused by my own bull****, I sometimes don't know what's really happening. But I'm happy, and that's all that matters.

Right?

[pchang]

I don't want you to stop ****ing stupid girls. I just want you to not have children with them.

[Felch]

I'm with you on that.

It's not a public healthcare system. It's a mandatory insurance scheme. I have to have car insurance if I want to drive, but that doesn't cover oil changes. And they exist for similar reasons - just as liability insurance is meant to cover other drivers in the event of a collision, the ACA is meant to prevent people from dumping their medical expenses on hospitals (which pass the cost on to other patients).

The ACA is a move towards a public healthcare system. They had to settle for mandatory insurance among the options being discussed, among them a single payer system I recall being kicked around here on Poly.

And a car is not your health. One you might be able to plan around and do without, the other not so much especially if you are dead. So no, health insurance does not exist for similar reasons as auto insurance. Hint, the mandatory part of auto insurance is to protect the people you may main and kill, not you. Collision is not mandatory, but nice try at being disingenuous.

Seriously.

This poutrage over women getting access to contraceptive through health insurance is pathetic. It doesn't have any affect on any of you, personally.

As I just pointed out to your ignorant ass there is no drug "birth control," an insurer can cover a drug also used for contraceptive use for every other use under sun other than contraception and address all yours lame ass fake BS objections. This has been offered, but douche bags like you reject it because your goal has nothing to do with those other conditions but is solely concerned with dolling out free birth control to buy votes. You would be a tad bit more respectable if you would just admit that's your goal Instead of being the coward you are and dancing around it.

You're wrong. As her original objection was that the private college she went to didn't cover ANY use of the drug we call birth control even though it has dozens of other uses as treatments to other illnesses. Fluke specifically spoke about this in her speech before congress.

So who's the "ignorant ass" again? Oh, that's right, as usual it is you. Nothing new there though.

OH HOLY MOTHER OF GOD I CAN'T SEE BEN IN QUOTES EITHER NOW!

We really should thank the new owner for that improvement.

Good luck with that after the fiasco thus far.

[notyoueither]

Good luck with that after the fiasco thus far.

I'm having great luck with my single payer system where I walk in off the street and get treated with no hassles and no bill.

You'll just need to come a little farther and you'll be here, thanks very much.

In the mean time, I'll enjoy my longer life expectancy

Canada would be a piss poor example to copy if the US is to move to a new system, nye.

My religion opposes this whole thing, but I don't really pay much heed to that. What I think is stupid is the idea that contraception is somehow a basic right, up there with food and shelter. Food and shelter are necessary to live, basic medical care ditto. Contraception is just a good way to make a fun activity a little safer. You can live without fun, you can't live without food or protection from the elements. Do you understand the difference? Paying for fun is what your disposable income is supposed to be for. Otherwise let's all demand free Netflix, so the ugly people can have something to pass the time.

It's stupid false economy. So you don't want to have to pay a little bit towards free contraception for all? Cool, so you're ok with paying a lot more towards a care system for huge numbers of unwanted kids instead? With this stuff, there's always a bill somewhere along the line, so why not just adopt an approach that at least reduces it as much as possible and gives you an efficient system.

It's the exact same thinking that lead to the war on drugs. "People shouldn't be doing this, its bad! So let's spend billions and incarcerate millions in a fruitless exercise that won't achieve anything!".

[Felch]

Jesus ****ing Christ, learn to read the entire thread, kentonio.

I'm not opposed to contraception as an economic measure. I just think that branding it as a human right is hyperbolic and retarded.

Duuuuh, what the **** did I just say? You even quoted it!

just as liability insurance is meant to cover other drivers in the event of a collision

You're a ******. Do the world a favor and keep your idiocy to yourself.

A big part of the push towards mandatory health insurance in this country was the problem of people without insurance receiving care from hospitals and being unable to pay for it. You see, contrary to the lies you've been told, nobody is denied emergency treatment in America. If you've got a serious problem, hospitals will try to keep you alive. Once the emergency is passed, some people wind up not being able to pay. Hospitals then have to pass the expense on to other patients. Fixing that problem was part of the justification for the ACA.

Do you see the connection, or do I need to draw your illiterate ass a diagram?

Lies about another countries health system? Surely not..

Most people know perfectly well that you can go to a hospital in an emergency even if you don't have insurance. The problem is that the complete lack of any preventative care a lot of uninsured people have, and the risk of bankrupcy when you can't pay make it a horrible inefficient and inhuman system.

[Felch]

Yes, those are problems.
