Romney/Ryan Lose 2012 Election Thread

[twa]

The government has been making your insurance company do it for a decade. I'm not sure what Barack Obama and/or Sandra Fluke have to do with it.

"most employers have to cover preventative care for women"

I am a business owner and cover preventative care for women, my insurance doesn't cover contraceptives. So whose is spreading misinformation?

it's only a tax if YOU don't want insurance. for those of us who do,...?

No it's a tax if I have to pay for it for all my employees. Now I pay for my families contraceptives through my deductible.

I wish people knew what health care costs for employers. It's really sad.

Are you in favor of insurance companies charging women significantly more because they are women?

Word! I'd like that one answered by all.

Not sure what you are implying.

I have employees, and women cost the same as men. They all get preventative care

They could start by cutting some of the weapons systems that the pentagon has said they don't need. Two examples: the Abrams tank was on the chopping block and a second jet engine as well. I think both still are getting funded because congressman are fighting for jobs.

I agree,but would you like to bet on what gets cut instead?
I was a fan of Rumsfeld,the man had balls to try forcing cuts

I answered it.

I was just thinking of the questions that needed to be answered before and now. I used to be asked on a form "any this that or the other"...when I enrolled on my husband's plan this year, I was asked my height, weight, and date of birth. Nothing more. I've posted this at least a dozen times. Things are better for everyone, except the people who have to do the paperwork. I pray for them.

Well I don't know who your husband works for, or what state you live in, or who you have to pray for.

I have 70 employees.

They answer 1 simple question for their dependents, who is your primary care physician.

I could lay out my costs for Life, Short Term, and Long Term disability as well as dental care...but that might be called a lie too.

that is standard with a large group plan, the obamacare regs on pre-existing conditions are not in affect till later for most adults.

Preventative care, which is what birth control falls under, without copays and/or deductibles has been a part of the Affordable Care Act in some ways. Its been a part of Medicaid and Medicare and has slowly been implemented for a while now . Things like mammograms, diabetes screenings, cholesterol test, have all been offered.

The law doesn't look at birth control as a prescription drug but as part of preventative care, like the prevention of pregnancies.

Nothing if Romney gets elected. It's a lot more likely that a President (either party) not running for re-election will have the courage to have cuts in military spending. I don't know how much ending the wars will reduce the budget. Thoughts?

Not true.

Not true.

What part?

you compare prescription drugs to tests?

care to tell me why other preventative meds are not treated the same?...life saving ones I might add.

to class it as such not only gives it priority over truly preventative prescrips,but also infers pregnancy is a disease.

[chipwhich]

What part?

Current health care law doesn't require contraceptives for free.

Pro-life but conveniently forgetting about the death penalty. Whatever, unborn babies and brain dead people are so much more morally "tidy".

Preserving the Sanctity of marriage. I would believe conservatives want to preserve SoM but so many of them don't live the ideal.
