rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18632 | I hope Republican plans insist women have to carry the bulk of reproductive coverage, because I don't think women as a voting block will be stupid enough to support such an idea. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | The essence of "insurance" is that its similar to a cult, new members fund the lifestyle of earlier members. New memberships dry up if coverage and hurdles become unpopular. Unpopular provisions abound in a lobbyist frenzy. That is what lawyers and lobbyists thrive on. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | It was because of who they "didn't" want. Most of the residents of the state live in Anchorage or Fairbanks. She lost the Republican candidacy to Joe Green a tea party candidate. Alaska is nearly rabid against Democrats so they weren't going to let Scott McCadams win, who was a pretty exciting candidate. She won that election by default. She won the first election she won because of Nepotism and the power that long terms in Congress bring to a state, that is desperate for federal money. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Insurance is different in this case in that you and I have no choice. You can go to Aldi and not pay to have shopping carts shagged. Nobody has to smoke, and to minimize the cigarette taxes some can go on the Res and pay less tax or get the Tribal private label and not even pay for the Master Settlement Agreement, itself a sad government shakedown the mafia would be proud of. You can even choose not to insure your paid for car if you like. In Obamacare, you have zero choice. A guy can never use maternity coverage, he has to pay. I would never buy rehabilitation insurance, yet I must pay. Women who have no desire for kids have to buy the same maternity coverage. There is the cry of, "but it is not fair that women have to pay more!" Well, men pay more for car insurance. In the work world, women take more time off than men. Many bars have free or reduced price ladies nights. Men take what, 9Xs the prison sentences that women do? If the shoe were on the other foot, women having to buy a coverage only men needed, liberals in general and liberal women's groups would SCREAM. It would be deafening. It has been brought up the idea of school taxes and if you have no kids that is unfair. Well, I would support the idea of "school free townships." Say a group wanted to say, "we are not going to have public schools in this town/village/boro/whatever." A small group of single men, old folks, home schoolers, and people sending kids to private school. Why not this choice? Their property value might be higher or lower, depending on demand for good schools vs lower taxes. You might get an interesting mix of people there! The President is a fink. |

Last night, I swear it was as if the guy was reading this thread! Guy I deal with, a genuine piece of work, mentioned how he stopped smoking pot the last month. He said he has never made such a good decision and could not believe how it just made his life revolve around getting home to get high. Now he accomplishes so much more. The President is a fink. |

Of course women pay for prostate coverage! If you look at what is and isn't covered, prostate surgeries are always covered. So just as men subsidize maternal type events, women subsidize men only type operations. |
