How does America pay for the crushing costs of Obamacare?
Acording to the Obama administration, by ending the human race.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told a House panel Thursday that a reduction in the number of human beings born in the United States will compensate employers and insurers for the cost of complying with the new HHS mandate that will require all health-care plans to cover sterilizations and all FDA-approved contraceptives, including those that cause abortions
"The reduction in the number of pregnancies compensates for the cost of contraception," Sebelius said. She went on to say the estimated cost is "down, not up."
"So you are saying, by not having babies born, we are going to save money on health care?" [Rep, Tim] Murphy asked. Sebelius replied, "Providing contraception is a critical preventive health benefit for women and for their children." Murphy again sought clarification. "Not having babies born is a critical benefit. This is absolutely amazing to me....
As I noted in my previous post on Obamacare and the Church, there is a certain logic to this liberal thesis. Abortion is surely cheaper for parents than raising a kid for 18 years (and possibly beyond, including college tuition). Pregnancy is likened to a disease among many liberals and feminists, such that preventative medicines (including abortion) ought to be available to treat the condition. The human person who is the object of the pregnancy is likewise reduced to excess matter in the liberal equation. The prevention and termination of pregnancies and excess matter thus become "health benefits."
Liberals have always taken a dim view toward the propagation of the human race and many liberal policies actively seek an unqualified reduction in the quantity of humans on the planet. The antipathy which liberals feel toward human beings, due to our transgressions against the environment, animal rights and the editorial board of the New York Times, is among the most interesting pathologies of the left.
No you are right - you just can't make stuff up like this unless you are mentally ill.
There is another angle to this however. Liberals love abortion and birth control. Especially liberal men like Bill Clinton, the male members of the Kennedy Klan, John Edwards, Jesse Jackson, Anthony Weiner, the list goes on and on. Birth control and abortion allow immoral, mentally ill men like Bill Clinton, John Edwards, the male members of the Kennedy Klan, etc, etc. to rape and have sex with any woman they want and not get in trouble from a legal standpoint or get in trouble with their wives.
Note: Poor Ted Kennedy. He should have waited until 1973 when abortion/birth control was made legal (whatever) before impregnanting Mary Jo. That way he would have not had to get drunk and then kill her.
Femininist for some reason love liberal men like Bill Clinton, John Edwards, the male members of the Kenndy Klan think Marilyn Monroe, Judith Campbell Exner, etc. Which proves that Rush is right - Feminists are mentally ill women.
The whole abortion, contraceptive, population control thing like global warming is just another sign of mental illness, because you just can't make this crap up.
