Obama Blames Contraception Mandate Controversy On “Cynical Desire of Some To Make This Into a Political Football”…

A not-so-subtle dig at pro-lifers, Catholics and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

    >>>White House to announce ‘accommodation’ on contraceptive policy

    President Obama plans to announce a plan Friday to accommodate religious organizations and others that are opposed to a new policy requiring contraceptive coverage for employees by making insurance companies the ones responsible for providing free contraception.

    The change would make the insurance companies, and not religious employers, responsible. Women would still have access to birth control without co-pays — but religious schools and hospitals could refuse to cover it, passing the onus to the insurance companies.

    So the Church or Hospital doesn’t have to include contraception or abortion in the advertised coverage, but the insurance compnay still has to provide it, “free of charge”.

    Just how stupid does this scumbag think we are?

    Nothing like splitting hairs . . . does anyone REALLY BELIEVE that the church or any organization is not ultimately paying for it? For a short period of time, I worked as the assistant to the Chief Actuary to a large health insurance company. I can tell you without reservation that the church or religious organization will be paying for it. The insurance policy is not doing it for free without some form of reimbursement. That is how group policies work, and the church or organization will not find those charges in the fee. They are hidden. Give me a break! How stupid does he think we are.

    Insurance companies income is from premiums paid by their customers, in this case the church related employers. What “magic money” is an insurance company going to use to pay for the contraceptive and abortion services that does not come from premiums from its customers.

    In addition what about large religious enterprises that are self insured and only use an insurance company to process claims and pay providers. Where is the “magic money” insurance companies will use to provide contraceptive and abortion services in this case.

    Obama retreats on birth control
    By Daniel Strauss and Amie Parnes – 02/10/12 12:41 PM ET

    President Obama announced a change Friday to the controversial healthcare rule requiring religious organizations like charities and hospitals to include contraception coverage in their healthcare plans.

    Obama has come under heavy criticism from the Catholic Church and other religious organizations, Republicans and even some Democrats over the issue. Vice President Biden suggested a day before that a compromise could be worked out.

    On Friday, Obama announced employees who work for religious organizations that object to the use of birth control would be able to obtain contraception from the employer’s insurer. He also said employers, such as Catholic hospitals and charities, will not have to pay for the birth control or refer their employees to groups that provide birth control.

    I have two questions, questions which are neither snarky nor smart-*ss nor rhetorical, because I really don’t understand:

    1. Why do Catholics pretty consistently vote for anti-Catholic candidates (and many of them are CINO)?

    2. Why do Jews pretty consistently vote for anti-Semitic candidates who then hire anti-Semitic JINOs?

    This is the biggest assault on the Bill of Rights or the Constitution ever in this country! This goes all the way back to the Piligrims, who came here for religious freedom. Never, never, has a so called president attacked Religious Freedom! This is unforgivable and he needs to be REMOVED! He’s going to plan another Reichstag Fire before he’s gone. He’s already had Fast and Furious and the shooting of the judge and Gabrielle Giffords. Someone must stop him.

    “…women will still have access to free preventive care, no matter where they work….”

    Planned Parenthood, using federal taxpayer dollars, gives away rubbers.

    Gay groups give away rubbers, even to women. (Mr. President, you should know this.)

    And rubbers, at your local pharmacy, grocery store, and convienence stores are very inexpensive.

    Access to preventative care is not a problem.

    This has nothing to do with preventative care. Nothing.

    This is ideology. Marxist ideology.

    And just how in the hell is this a “compromise”? The insurance company will simply raise the rates for the religious institution to cover the extra anticipated costs. So they still end up paying for it.

    The Chicago shell game doesn’t work, Oshitbag.

    As for turning it into a political football–you’re the one who did the kick-off. Or more precisely, that stupid twunt Sebelius.

    Indeed. If this regime has no problem forcing religious groups who are opposed to abortion and contraception PAY FOR IT they would have no trouble forcing them to marry gays. They will say it is a “human rights” violation if they don’t.

    Let me see if I have this concession thing right

    A Church-based organization must provide, advise of, direct an employee to, and submit payment for insurance coverage that must provide full coverage for procedures and medications that are specifically against the core tenets the organization stands for.

    Does this same organization have the right to NOT hire anybody that goes against its core tenets? Then they could get an exclusion in the policy. Oh, wait, guess not in a SINGLE PAYER system.

    No, didn’t think so.

    If anybody thinks Obie gave anything away they are dumber than dirt.

    With all due respect again, Bishops, his word is NO GOOD. Please understand that.

    “It will be free to women, and the insurance companies must pay for it.” And just exactly where will the insurance companies get the money from? Well, everyone knows that they will pass it to the client, of course, in the form of increased premiums.
