Here we go again, parsing words and mixing messages to try and convince groups that he is not doing what he actually is doing. So here's the skinny. In the article I have linked it says that Obama's compromise is doing the following:
"Speaking to reporters at the White House Friday, Obama offered a compromise that would allow women to obtain free contraception but would require them to obtain it directly from their insurance companies if their employers object to birth control because of religious beliefs."
Now what is the problem you say, well first and foremost the contraceptives are STILL being given out like complimentary water cups at McDonalds. He says the Catholic companies do not have to give out contraceptives anymore but the insurance companies do, as if nuns are at the church doorstep giving them away. The problem is, mr. president, that the Catholic companies PAY for the insurance, and therefore are paying for the contraceptives. This is not a compromise but an increase in federal mandates! The Obama administration has now required everyone to obtain 'free' contraceptives. Before, I assume, we would pay for them. Now they are free, oh great! What a great gift you have given us. More liberty swiped from the conscience of millions of US citizens, religious freedom - gone, personal freedom - gone, we have to buy insurance, we have to have that pay for contraceptives. What options do we have as citizens? Please give me one option, anything? There is none, there are no exemptions. If you are a Catholic who is a business owner for a non-catholic business, like McDonalds then you still are paying for insurance that covers that in its policy.
To even further this point, I have to say, that back when Obamacare was passed, Obama claimed over and over again that he was going to reduce the cost of healthcare and that he was going to make sure healthcare was better. Now everyone must be insured, increasing the pool, but also increasing the cost of each company to carry preexisting conditions, and now increasing what things must be in these healthcare plans. Contraceptives MUST be free so therefore the cost gets passed to the consumer. We all now pay for contraceptives, not just the company paying for us, but every citizen pays for contraceptives.
When will it all end? When will this madness end and when will freedom and free markets reign again in America. We need to rally, and rally behind the one true conservative left in the race!
Vote for Rick Santorum, and help fight and reverse the direction of the current administration.
