dreamover Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Nah man, I've seen videos of Bernie getting heated. He tore Alan Greenspan a new asshole. I can't wait to see him debate Hilary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Honestly, i think Bernie's biggest detractor is how he presents himself. Yes, I enjoy a firey, intelligent politician, but I think he may be too abrasive to be the leader of a nation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Insurance should never cover birth control unless the birth will cause a death. Then it's debatable. I want to believe that you're just being sarcastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy_raygun Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 While it would be really disappointing if he lost the primaries and we got Hillary instead, I don't think it would be as devastating for his supporters as implied earlier in the thread. I doubt if Bernie would even be that disappointed. This situation reminds me of the Robert Redford movie 'The Candidate'. In that, he probably doesn't even truly expect to win. But here's a great opportunity for him to get up on his soap box and spread some truths and what he thinks about stuff. That people are listening and agreeing is just gravy.

konk Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I want to believe that you're just being sarcastic. I wasn't gonna say anything else about it unless someone quoted me. "Death" was a strong word. I just don't think I should have to pay a higher premium because someone wants to have sex and not get pregnant. I also don't see how you can deny a hearing aid, but pay for someone to not get pregnant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't see how you can deny a hearing aid, but pay for someone to not get pregnant. You're also paying for men to get free Viagara. There are a lot of things padding your premium, but I don't think birth control (especially with what I told you previously about what it does BESIDES preventing pregnancy) should top your list of "useless medications." It helps over 65% of women. That doesn't sound useless to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac1 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 But wasting 1.2 Trillion on broken, useless and now forgotten obama-tax-care state web exchanges was a great excuse to line the pockets of politically connected lobbyists. again. if you think the cost of potential birth control (in bulk) is going to raise your taxes in a country where we just had a two trillion dollar war with no positive outcomes, then you're having the arguments that republicans think half this country is dumb enough to have.

You're wrong. Obamacare will increase taxes on insurance companies and investment income by 1.2 trillion over a DECADE which will more than offset the costs of expanding Medicare and exchanges. According to this report by The Congressional Budget Office, repealing the law would actually Increase deficits. http://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/114th-congress-2015-2016/reports/50252-Effects_of_ACA_Repeal.pdf ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and soundofsilver 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundofsilver Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 1.2 Trillion on exchanges 2 Trillion on wars Which number do we actually think is closer to correct?

WAXXX Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I can't argue with this. i can. we already have the ACA. this would be an unnecessary, extra tax. it could lead to the government trying to enforce population control like communist china. also, dumb people. they are the wild card and don't use birth control even when it's free.

Are you fucking daft?Dumb people who don't use free birth control? You know what would fix that? Decent sex education in schools. In my high school the health teacher got fired for teaching us about condoms. Part of her job was to teach 15-17 year olds about sexual health and she got fired for saying "condom" But back to communist China, you're wrong and what the fuck? To go from "access to birth control" to "Government forced population control takes so many mental leaps and bounds that I can only assume you're one of those dumb people you mentioned.

Bladewillisisdead Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I didn't mean a literal "less people" tax. Just saying that access to free birth control will result in there being less people. Access to birth control is beneficial for a lot of reasons, but even if you just boil it down to "less people" its not only worth it, but necessary.
