As I have been saying for weeks now one of the first things feminist will make sure of is that women pay the same amount as men for any government controlled health insurance. Of course it is unreasonable that women should have to pay more even though they go to the doctor more often. Yet men should still have to pay more for car and life insurance, cause well you know, men deserve to pay more. Well this article shows that I at least called that card a club.
Interestingly enough all the other issues are about sex, about 100 ways to establish a woman's right to an abortion at any time, place, or condition and then more sexual freedom.
I am seriously surprised there isn't something in this wishlist for free domestic violence something except I guess they already have that. Still I would have thought they would have gotten something else thrown in there for domestic violence.
The part that is especially eye opening is the part about making it mandatory for all doctors, clinics, hospitals etc to perform abortions.
So now feminist wish to force men and women who are morally opposed to abortion to have to perform them anyway. I assume this would also make a pharmacy carry and sell contraceptives and day after pills as well even in highly religious areas. They try to word this as only effecting contraceptives and rape victims but what is being pushed in the bill covers abortions for all women not just rape victims. It is interesting to note that the author skirts this issue and mentions contraceptives for rape victims as in the morning after pill but the wording on this will open it up to all abortions.
Guess we will have an even longer wait for healthcare reform if all the catholic doctors, nurses and hospitals close down.
I am also sure they will manage to get abortions paid for by the government as well.
Admitedly this wishlist is what planned parenthood is currently only lobbying for but a large part of it has been announced in other media coverage as being in at least one of the bills shuffling around.
I only hope the American people wake up and kill this bill before the legislators go back in September.
Yep, disgusting. Insurance disgusts me because the government has mandated that we must have it and they wait in the wings ready to screw us all over. I think the issues you mention hit men and women in different places.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to share the story that was posted elsewhere because it kind of hits home about the men paying for risky behavior:
I was in physical therapy today with a guy who just had surgery to remove a metal brace that was in his leg. He had this done because the doctor said it could be problematic if he was snowboarding and broke his leg a second time. The most recent surgery was elective. wow. When he initially broke his leg, he landed in the hospital, stayed for 4 days after being in the ER because he had compartment syndrome and they debated in that time if they should amputate the leg. Incredible? 5 surgeries to fix it and #6 was the elective removal so he could go right back to snowboarding which is a high risk activity. He said that if he didn't have insurance, the hospital bill for the first time would have been $76,000, plus the surgeries, plus the removal, plus the physical therapy, etc, etc, etc, all for a risky sport. I just can't imagine a woman doing that specifically.
Woemn have their own risks--childbirth is definitely a high risk endeavor. And women do go to the gyno alot--partly so they can be on the pill and have lots of sex with the men who want it.
It seems that ultimately, one hand washes the other in many ways.

I feel a flamefest coming...
Let me just be clear I'm totally against Obamacare.
ReplyDeleteLOL No flame fest from me anyway, but as I have pointed out earlier if you apply the same reasoning to health insurance that is applied to life and car insurance (Of which your male example is charged more for) then women should have to pay more for health insurance.
ReplyDeleteIf the same feminist that were calling for cost averages to health insurance advocated cost averages for ALL insurance I wouldn't really have a beef.
Except of course men have been bearing the extra cost for car and life insurance by being discriminated against for so long that like with all other "equality" in America they deserve special breaks to make up for past injustices.
It would be like special loans, points, advantages to getting into schools etc.
Fair is fair!!!
