by the same token, i don't think a church has any right to force it's beliefs on its employees or patients. i've always found it interesting that many plans would pay for viagra and the like without question, but wouldn't pay for birth control pills.

obama is now forcing the carriers to provide the insurance rather than force the zealots to pay-but they'll still pay. and they still won't like it. obama ought to know by now that you can't please everyone, and if you try, you'll end up pleasing no one.

i can see the catholic church dropping group coverage.

I’ve been thinking this Obamacare could set a mighty precedent if upheld before the Supreme Court. Since it’s billed as a money saver for the government I’ve thought of several other variances for the new law should the Court find it constitutional. May I suggest?

Mandatory Flood/Hurricane/Tornado Insurance- Every American/business would be required to buy flood insurance regardless of where you live. FEMA could then be eliminated. One might ask if it’s fair for someone living in the mountains of AZ to be required to purchase flood insurance. No it’s not really fair but either is asking everyone to pitch in for birth control and abortion coverage, even males and women past the need for contraceptives or at risk of pregnancy.

Mandatory Individual Disability Insurance- See you later SSI

Mandatory Fitness/Health Club Membership- After all it’s all about health!

Mandatory Long Term Health Care Coverage- Smoking and obese households only. (Non-discriminatory)

I could go on and on and the fact is virtually every government entitlement could be eliminated, by simply requiring every American to abide by the government playbook. It’s a backwards way to individual responsibility but I suppose needed for those unable or unwilling to be self-accountable and or responsible. Just trying to go along with the program

yeah, they've trumpeted the medicare savings. problem is, the medicaid expenses grow-and more times over than the savings from medicare. so, really, not a savings at all. but they don't mention that part, do they?
