This whole so-called “accommodation” that Obama and his health care czar announced last Friday is a complete and absolute fraud. I’ll explain this, but first let’s make sure you know why this is an issue in the first place.
What we have here is a pure election-year ploy for the woman’s vote. Contraception isn’t expensive. Women can have their birth control pills every month for less than they typically spend on makeup. The whole ploy here is to set up contraception as a basic right for every woman … to make it a basic part of health care that every woman is “entitled to.” The goal here is to be able to tell voters in future elections that if you elect Republicans they will “take away your health care.” I can see the campaign ads now: “So-and-so (The GOP candidate) wants to take away women’s right to basic health care services.”
But what about this head fake Dear Ruler delivered last Friday? All we have to do is present a simple before and after comparison.
Before: Obama’s mandate was that religious institutions had to provide for “free” contraception for all females working for those institutions through the health insurance policies provided to those workers.
After: Now the health insurance companies are simply going to have to provide “free” coverage for contraceptives in all health insurance policies.
Can someone please tell me the difference here? If Caesar Obammus steps forward and mandates that all insurance policies must pay for contraceptives, aren’t those insurance companies simply going to factor the cost of that coverage into the premiums paid by the employers? Doesn’t this mean that these Catholic institutions are still going to be paying for contraceptives?
But wait! Maybe Obama will “clarify” his mandate and tell the insurance companies that they cannot increase premiums to pay for his contraceptive mandate … or for any other mandate he comes up with. Don’t put this one past him. It would, after all, hasten the bankruptcy of these insurance companies … and that is the ObamaCare final solution. When the insurance companies are run out of business the government will be there to take over with the coveted (by proggies) single-payer plan.
