what a dopey article - the same political system governing all health care governs "women's health care" too. It's the same politicians. What's the expectation here? There'd be different elected officials handling certain issues?
And, the complaints about the bill -- nothing over the top here - "cruel" - "partisan attack on women's health." No specifics, of course. Just the broad allegation.
Oh, the President of Planned Parenthood says that if "they" asked the President of Planned Parenthood what she thought, then things would be different? Wow. That's brilliant. You mean a private entity that gets federal funds and wants more federal funds would want even more funds, if they had their 'druthers? Shocker.
The new healthcare bill is said to produce 22 million more uninsured persons in this country...even though Obamacare did not succeed in insuring that many people. LOL.
But, naturally, 22 million more uninsured, yes, but women are "particularly" impacted by it. Yes, it's always worse for women. How? The article does not lay out a case. It's just always worse for women. We know that. It's particularly devastating to women, they say, because the bill would stop requiring states to require insurance companies to pay for contraception as a covered item on health insurance policies. LOL. Wow. Devastating. Men's birth control is not covered now, but unless insurance companies are mandated to cover women's birth control, then that's "particularly devastating" to women. And, the law "blocks" women from getting healthcare FROM PLANNED PARENTHOOD. Because, you know, women can't go to doctors and hospitals under their health plans. We have to fund a private company, planned parenthood, separate and distinct from health insurance, or it's devastating to women.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
