We WANT Republicans to run against "contraception"

[Harry Dresden]

American women will remember who stood up for them in November.

You do realize that abortion and contraception is denied to no women, correct? All they need do is go to an abortion clinic, the pharmacy or send their boyfriend into the rest room at the local truckstop.

This issue has nothing to do with women's rights. It has to do with an overreaching socialist trying to force churches to provide services against their beliefs. Go ahead and try to frame it differently, but you'll just continue to make yourself look even more foolish.

Chris has no idea what a woman is.....unless its a blowup one....

Obama decided to force churches to pay for something which is against their religion. Don't be stupid.

I would like a link to anything that differentiates the cost between an insurance policy that covers prophalactics and one that doesn't. If the government said that all insurance companies must cover those medicines, then its a moot point and false outrage.
This is just an opportunity for the right to claim religious privilege in order to force a political agenda, nothing more, and nothing less.

I see the problem. You think that, because the government tells a company to pay for something, they will simply ignore the fact that it costs money and do what they are told. If the government told you to jump off the tallest building in New York I bet you would trust them to catch you at the bottom.

This is ridiculous. Insurance companies SELL the coverage, and all government is doing is making sure they provide actual service for the money that is paid to them.

You want to bitch about cost? The pharma companies that are allowed to jack the price of medicines sold in the US to the sky are the same ones that still make obscene profits around the world selling the same meds for a tiny fraction of what they cost the society that provided the infrastructure for them to succeed. Bitch about that.

Insurance companies generally run a profit margin of a little over 3%, what makes you think they are not providing the service people are paying for? Besides, what Obama said is he wants insurance companies to provide this service to everyone, even if they do not want, or need, it, and they have to do it for free. That is not a service that is being paid for. Unless, of course, you agree I am right and they will actually jack up the price to cover their expenses, in which case I am not sure why you are arguing with me.

FYI, insurance and pharmaceuticals are tow different industries. Come to think of it, the real beneficiaries of this proposal will be the pharmaceutical companies that make birth control. Unless, of course, I am right again and women in America already have access to birth control, in which case everyone but insurance companies and big pharma get screwed.

Seriously, of you want to hurt the companies like you pretend you do you should join me in getting the government to stop propping these industries up.

It's a fake issue. And I know it is. That's what Axlerod does. Damn the guy should try to start to write novels.

Gas prices will dominate. 80% plus under Obama.

You can't make this go away. The economy still rules. You guys are in lala land believing in all this bullshit the head honchos of the campaign out of Chicago are throwing at you.

Throw it against the wall. Not sticking this time because conservatives don't have an asswipe like McCain calling the shots.

And libs are spending a fortune trying to take out all the key players. Bless RP and keep him in there.

His troops are awesome and passionate. Ditto Santorum and Newt. Romney has faithful if not jaked.

But this fight is great because it's causing the DNC to spend mega bucks against all of them. Not just one.



And I love it.

It's the royal rumble baby

I haven't seen any Obama ads against any of the GOP candidates. Therefore, who's spending money on ads?

DNC have launched considerable ads against Romney in particular.

Many.

Yeah, but the DNC is just fighting back against some of Romney's distortions against Obama. The big money is being spent by the GOP candidates attacking each other.

It's been Romney spending the money. But he's loaded for bear.

Santorum's campaign in Iowa was all in coffee shops. Paul's team is rocking this year. Doing a great job on fundraising and Newt has been holding his own. Gotta give him that.

Here's where you are screwed. Axelrod assumed and rightly so that the chosen child for the R's was going to be Romney.

Whoopsies and a big one.

R's and D's head honchos were obviously doing a conga line somewhere because they completely missed 2010. And the meaning of 2010.

The meaning of 2010. From a great tune...we're not going to take it anymore.

 

[Lakhota]

I would also assume that Axelrod is still assuming Romney will likely get the nomination. Otherwise, Axelrod knows the GOP has absolutely no chance of beating Obama.

IF that 3% is accurate, it is only recently, and only because of government regulations. What you consider profit is what's left after advertising, lobbying, etc. That's a faulty method of accounting what is paid out directly in providing (paying out for) the coverage consumers pay for.
This might offer some insight:

No cost will incur for contraceptives not accessed by those covered. It isn't as if the insurance companies are being told to buy pills or condoms and ship them to patients who have no use for them. They are only told that the ability to access such products must be a covered benefit. Since that would go towards meeting their 80%-85% payout quota, it really isn't costing the insurance companies any extra at all. If they do jack up their premiums, it would ultimately bite them in the ass.

And they may be 2 industries, but they sell complementary goods, one sells the products, and the other bets it can sell more coverage than it needs to pay out, in many cases going so far as to deny legitimate claims for fishy reasons. They actually prop each other up, as the existance of private insurance allows the pharmecutical companies to hike their prices in a way that government contracts would never allow, and this gives the insurance companies cover to hike their rates in response.
