Apparently the GOP’s next magic trick just isn’t producing results. Where is the alternative plan? Repeal with no replacement is not a plan.

Actually, no you are not. If you drive the car only on private property or if you pay the “fine” you do not need liability insurance. Of course, you also need to own a car.
Breathing, however, is necessary and I should not be taxed on breathing.
Don’t get me wrong. I support the idea that everyone SHOULD have insurance. Its just not the job of our employees in the gov’t to mandate that we buy it.
They don’t determine what you buy now.
Are you positive you don’t have to have a car insured even if on private property? I thought you did unless it was declared junk. Not positive.
What I find funny is that this entire thread pretty much just asks one question:
“What are the Republican ideas to replace Obamacare?”
right?
Well, it’s quite obvious that it’s not going to be ‘replaced’. I think the more important question SHOULD be:
“What are Democrats going to do to fix Obamacare?”
Besides delaying this date or that date… So, let hear it. What are all the great ideas Democrats have to fix this obviously flawed law?
The only idea I’ve heard from a Democrat on how to ‘fix’ ACA is to add a ‘copper plan’. 🙂
Honest, this is not a joke. That really is the BEST, and only, idea Democrats have to fix this law. Add a copper plan. period. end of story. that is going to fix it.
@Peterson
But…but….but, ALL of those cancelled plans were inferior to ANY Obamacare plan. That’s crazy talk…going to even more inferior plans. We’ll be right back where we started….even if we’re still paying more.
They should have just added the component they were missing. They weren’t inferior, just incomplete.
If someone is self insuring or if a company pays for every medical issue…… why are they being forced to an inferior product?
Pat — Try “stud.”
Pat — Your post was aimed at the security of US missions against terrorist attack under Bush I and a so-called lack of an issue over such attacks and of subsequent security enhancements. You will notice where the point of attack was at the US Consulate in Karachi. It was out in the street where the Pak police kiosk and the Pak police guard contingent was located and where the local government has the responsibility. The dead were Pak police and Pak civilians in the street. There was no penetration of the US Mission compound where the US Marines have the responsibility and the Americans (and local hires) work. Big bombs tend to shatter windows and create a certain amount of aerial debris. In this instance the bomb was large enough to break some of the windows in the front of the consulate building, ergo the most likely source of the wounds for that Marine and a couple of local employees (four of them, as I recall).
The point: The terrorists themselves did not penetrate the consulate perimeter. That was a failure of the attentiveness of the officially assigned Pak police guard, not a failure of our mission perimeter. The only way you could take issue with Bush I on that would be that he failed to have American control over the Pak police and the busy public street in front of the Consulate. Right. In Pakistan? Hey, you try to work with them. You don’t take them over.
Horse’s patoot. Drugs used to correct ED, among other blood flow ailments, serve to restore a normal function of the male human body. Contraceptives, on the other hand, would seem to be intended to interrupt a normal function of the female human body — except when they are used in some cases in a corrective medical sense. But, what the hey. I don’t have a problem personally with either of them. Neither one is going to disappear from this already sex-mad society, even if certain religious faiths find the contraceptives objectionable and seek their own exclusion from paying for them through health insurance. Another liberal sitzkreig, I say. Just a lot of yelling and dust raising.
I don’t think that Viagra is used to correct anything but ED. I do not think that pregnancy is the normal state of the female human body. It is dangerous, in fact, for some females to get pregnant. However, that is not the point.
Let’s be honest. The point of contraception and medicines that correct erectile dysfunction are both to allow people to have normal sex lives. I don’t find that objectionable. What I find objectionable is support for ED medicine and non support for contraception. I have not heard but one person ever object to paying for Viagra or other like medicines.
Ted Cruz is half Cuban and half American White. If he labels himself as Hispanic, that is his right. Brown, cafe latte, high yellow, what the heck difference does that really make? And Ted Cruz is not Ted Cruz’s father.
Barack Obama is half African Black and half American White. If he labels himself as Black, that is his right. Black, cafe latte, high yellow, what the heck difference does that really make? And Barack Obama is not Barack Obama’s father.
Neither of them are “that white man”
I would probably say that the term “high yellow” is rather awkward and probably unacceptable in today’s society.
I would say the individual defines what she or he is.
Pat — The incident in the Fox report was, indeed, on that blog list. And the earlier fatal grenade attack noted by Fox was at a church located in an expat living area, not inside a US diplomatic mission. It is tough enough to harden our diplomatic missions against attack. You usually wind up at the mercy of the skills or lack thereof of the local police and military with regard to protecting other sites, even specific expat living sites and international schools. Sometimes all you can do is send families and some of your less necessary American employees home because you cannot adequately protect everybody in the chaotic environment of many foreign cities.
Is the actual point here not being missed? Correct an ED problem, and a man is equipped theoretically to reproduce. Give a woman an effective contraceptive , and the reproduction does not happen. The opposition to the use of contraceptives and to paying for others to use them comes out of religious beliefs. I mean , it is the artificial prevention of conception which is the doctrinal issue for those seeking exemptions. Why, then, would they apply the same concerns to drugs which aid the male in potential conception activities?
So, which of the individuals here who are claiming a “war against women” will want to tell the nuns of the Little Sisters of the Poor that they will have to violate their sacred religious vows by participating in the provision of contraceptives and abortifacients so others can have better sex, marital or extra-marital, without concerns for having a child? Does shoving people’s religious beliefs down their throats for secular pleasure spell American religious liberty to you?
I would gladly tell the nuns of the Little Sisters if they are going to hire people as a business that they are to provide health coverage for them and that contraception is part of health coverage. I clearly understand the teachings about contraception. It was a personal directive, not a corporate one. In fact I walked out of a service many years ago over it.
Sacred religious vows not to provide contraception for someone else? Give me an effen break. Now there’s a vow for you.
There is no provision anywhere for abortifacients. Let’s stick to facts, not fuzzy voodoo science. Hopefully the nuns will follow their personal religion and leave it out of their corporate decisions.
Secular pleasure? That is the problem. There is an underlying tone in this discussion that all non-procreative sex is somehow “nasty.” If the little nuns want to think that…fine. However, most of the rest of the thinking world does not believe that.
Yea, there is a war on women and I believe you might be one of its foot soldiers. Fix the dude’s inability to get it up. Call the woman a slut because she wants to have sex.
Correction to #75. That should be Bush II, not Bush I.
There’s an argument on both sides of the issue. Which means it is a matter to be decided politically.
And fittingly the issue is to be decided by the foremost political entity in the nation. The Supreme Court.
HEY! Look! Something that actually pertains to this thread!!!

An alternative.
These posts about a so-called “war on women” and then labelling another poster as a “foot soldier” in said war, not to mention repeatedly placing false interpretations on what someone else writes, have, quite bluntly, reached a silly — and insulting — stage.

Oh look… ObamaCare is now going to raise the costs of medical insurance on companies.
Up to $186 billion over ten years.
What was that about lowering costs of health care again?
@Wolverine
Funny, I too feel insulted.
You deny something that I have seen my entire life. Some of the things you have said pretty much validate exactly the feeling many women get when they are trivialized.
Saying I am silly is just another example. I guess my advice would be, give a little, get a little, to quote Dana Scully.
