And The Hits Keep Coming

All it takes is the dawn of another day to read a new headline attacking a women's right to healthcare, contraception, or even an abortion. Laws made by men to advance their agenda of interfering with women's healthcare.  Today the attacks are coming out of Tennessee called the Life Defense Act of 2012.

The proposed law "mandates that the Tennessee Department of Health make detailed demographic information about every woman who has an abortion available to the public, including her age, race, county, marital status, education level, number of children, the location of the procedure and how many times she has been pregnant. Each report would also have to include the name of the doctor who performed the procedure."

 This just seems unfathomable. When will men figure out once they allow these laws to take hold there will be nothing stopping them from "mandating" different aspects of healthcare for men? It isn't that hard to imagine. Who do you know that has had a taste of power that hasn't wanted more? These are power moves. It might be about women right now but it will be about everyone if laws like these are allowed to stand.

Total Health Care Costs Fall When Poor Are Provided Insurance: Study

Total Health Care Costs Fall When Poor Are Provided Insurance: Study

The concept of support for universal health care is taboo among Republicans who scrutinize the Affordable Care Act -- dubbing it the "Job-Killing Health Care Law Act" -- and call for its repeal. But a new UC Irvine study challenges the GOP argument that the health care law is too costly, with data illustrating that health care costs on the whole fall when poorer, uninsured patients are provided with insurance.
"In a case study involving low-income people enrolled in a community-based health insurance program, we found that use of primary care increased but use of emergency services fell, and -- over time -- total health care costs declined," David Neumark, a co-author of the study, said in a release accompanying the findings.

Mitch McConnell Wants Vote On Birth Control Mandate

I'm 61, don't use checkups, tests or drugs, and I won't pay for those who do. Articles here pitch contracept

­ion as a benefit, but it costs employers more and they take it out of workers pay. It's why wages haven't gone up in 30 years, they went to pay for increasing medical coverage. Now the average family policy costs $14K, and the retired and self-emplo­yed can't afford it - but ACA forces us to buy it. Not insurance, a plan that covers everything except cosmetic surgery and sex changes - and those will be next.

Original Medicare and private insurance didn't cover drugs, never mind contracept­ion or abortion. The idea that "access" means "free" is new, and beyond absurd. Women have a right to birth control and abortion, not to have someone else pay for it. Surely we have a right to free food and shelter well before drugs and medical care. But that would be welfare, so instead we get free drugs.

This is my response to the comment posted at the link above. However, the responses that everyone else made were so much more impressive. Check the link above to see what I am referring to.

What about the 28 states that already have this requiremen­t or the 8 that don't allow churches out of that requiremen­t. Everything you stated has already been debunked in science and the many comments posted here. That said, if Republican­s want to run on "contracep­tion" then I'm sure that is a fight the Democrats would love to have. The majority of Americans understand the importance of contracept­ion along with the medical necessity of it in a lot of instances.
