Obama Chief of Staff: No More Compromise, No More Negotiating, Contraception Mandate Rule Is Done Deal…

Emperor Obama has spoken.

(Fox News) — Despite renewed statements of concern by Catholic leaders and lawmakers, the Obama administration is done negotiating and will finalize its plan requiring insurance companies to provide free contraception to women working and studying at religious institutions, President Obama’s chief of staff said Sunday.

Jacob Lew told “Fox News Sunday” that the compromise offered last week to address objections by the Catholic Church is clear and consistent with the president’s “very deep belief that a woman has a right to all forms of preventive health care, including contraception.”

“We have set out our policy,” Lew said. “We are going to finalize it in the final rules, but I think what the president announced on Friday is a balanced approach that meets the concerns raised both in terms of access to health care and in terms of protecting religious liberties, and we think that’s the right approach.”

But Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the conversation isn’t over yet.

“If we end up having to try to overcome the president’s opposition by legislation, of course, I’d be happy to support it and intend to support it,” McConnell said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

    Section 2713 of the PHS Act, as added by the Affordable Care Act and incorporated into ERISA and the Code, requires that non-grandfathered group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage provide benefits for certain preventive health services without the imposition of cost sharing. ‘
    ‘
    These preventive health services include, with respect to women, preventive care and screening provided for in the comprehensive guidelines supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) that were issued on August 1, 2011 (HRSA Guidelines).1

    As relevant here, the HRSA Guidelines require coverage, without cost sharing, for “[a]ll Food and Drug Administration [(FDA)] approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity,” as prescribed by a provider.

    The IOM is renowned for its research program, but it is also an honorific organization with more than 1,700 members and foreign associates who donate their time to put their knowledge and expertise to work for the nation’s health.

    Each year, the full membership elects up to 65 new members and five foreign associates to the IOM. Members are elected for their excellence and professional achievement in a field relevant to the IOM’s mission and for their willingness to participate actively in its work. These individuals represent not only the health care professions but also the natural, social, and behavioral sciences, as well as law, administration, engineering, and the humanities.

    Clinical Preventive Services for Women: Closing the Gaps

    Type:
    Consensus Report

    http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2011/Clinical-Preventive-Services-for-Women-Closing-the-Gaps.aspx

    As a centerpiece of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010, the focus on preventive services is a profound shift from a reactive system that primarily responds to acute problems and urgent needs to one that helps foster optimal health and well-being.

    Given the magnitude of change, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services charged the IOM with reviewing what preventive services are important to women’s health and well-being and then recommending which of these should be considered in the development of comprehensive guidelines.

    The IOM defined preventive health services as measures—including medications, procedures, devices, tests, education and counseling—shown to improve well-being, and/or decrease the likelihood or delay the onset of a targeted disease or condition. The IOM recommends that women’s preventive services include:

    improved screening for cervical cancer, counseling for sexually transmitted infections, and counseling and screening for HIV;

    a fuller range of contraceptive education, counseling, methods, and services so that women can better avoid unwanted pregnancies and space their pregnancies to promote optimal birth outcomes;

    services for pregnant women including screening for gestational diabetes and lactation counseling and equipment to help women who choose to breastfeed do so successfully;

    at least one well-woman preventive care visit annually for women to receive comprehensive services; and

    screening and counseling for all women and adolescent girls for interpersonal and domestic violence in a culturally sensitive and supportive manner.

    I think that the people entrusted with protecting one of the most despicable people to govern America in history should question their job. For a person whose duty it is to protect our country and it’s people including the most vulnerable of us all, our children. Obama has shown that he doesn’t want to and that they don’t deserve it, has violated a most sacred trust. And in doing such a vile thing does not command the respect of the people he governs or the ultimate sacrifice requested of the people tasked to keep him safe. Because we all know he’s not looking after us, just the opposite he’d rather kill us at a time when we’re most defenseless.

    Every Catholic, including the Pope himself, has nobody to blame but himself or herself. There isn’t an ounce of sympathy from many of us, just as we’re amazed at our Jewish friends who are (get this…) astounded that Obama is working in overdrive to give Israel over to Palestine.

    Look, how stupid can you be? Michelle Obama told you repeatedly, “My husband’s going to change this pathetic country. He’s gonna get you out of your comfort zones, off your lazy asses, and start changing these traditions here. I won’t be proud of this country until he does.”

    The Tea Party kept on warning you that the Redcoats were coming and you just laughed and called them paranoid. You’re more indignant and self righteous than the lazy grasshopper mocking the stupid ants preparing for winter.

    I hope Obama taxes away all your church land. I hope he imposes a confiscatory tax on your givings and eliminates the charitable donation tax benefits as he has promised. Let your churches rot as your corrupt leadership sold out to this soft totalitarianism long ago (comfortable with it having formed pacts with it across Europe’s history, as recently as its complicity in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, as well as Franco’s Spain, etc.). You’re the Church of Imperialism, always working a deal with the tyrants to get your cut.

    “Remember back in 2009 when Obama and Hillary Clinton were going out of their way to use the phrase “freedom of worship?” Now you understand what they were setting up. They are getting ready to argue that the First Amendment only protects a non-muslim’s right to go inside a specific building for two hours on Sunday mornings and “worship”, but that non-muslims have ZERO right to make manifest their religion outside of the confines of said building. This has all been planned for decades. And, of course, islam, which in truth isn’t a religion at all, but instead an evil, totalitarian political system, will be treated with kid gloves, and the imposition of Sharia law will be actively facilitated by the evil Marxists inside the government. So yes, it is very true that this entire contraception/abortion situation is indeed the first EXPLICIT step in establishing a true state of dhimmitude, wherein non-muslims are forced into a lower societal caste by the state. The Marxists are planning to use musloids as their SS. It’s war, y’all. Fight or die.”

    “Many savvy readers also picked up on the similarity between the “Obama Compromise” which pretends that insurance companies will provide contraception, sterilization and abortifacients for “free”, and our recent discussion of “interest free” Sharia loans. Uh, yeah. That’s because it is exactly the same thing, cut from EXACTLY the same cloth. Just as islam is nothing more than a political system which revolves around lies and lying, Marxism is exactly the same. The mindsets are EXACTLY the same. It is all about gaming the system through intrinsically, fundamentally and monumentally dishonest legalisms. In islam, you’re not really paying interest – just a “markup”. And you’re not homosexual as long as you don’t love the man or boy you’re anally raping. And “allah” can’t see you on Mondays and Thursdays because he is “busy”, so do whatever you want. In Marxism, physical and service commodities are “rights”, anyone who makes more than $100,000 per year is “rich” and “not paying their fair share”, and Barack Obama isn’t a crack-addled homosexual Indonesian national with a room-temperature I.Q. It’s all about the BIG LIE.”

    I guess we see where the battle lines are.

    I wonder how many folks out there see the bigger problem here? I’m not particularly religious and I’m definitely not Catholic, but I find this alarming. It’s not about contraception or even health care. It’s about power. If Obama succeeds in throwing out the First Amendment through regulation in this case, there really are no limits on what the government can make us do, or keep us from doing.

    Miny Moe asks:

    Since when the hell is contraception “preventative health care”? Is pregnancy some sort of illness or disease?

    ———————————————————————–

    Pregnancy and Other Preventable Diseases

    “….If one widens the lens on the affect of contraception and abortion over the past 50 years, one sees an American society radically altered, turned inward and gradually eliminating itself. With government mandates, this process will be accelerated. It may sound alarmist, but where contraception is mandatory, abortion is sure to follow.

    And this is where the disease model of pregnancy in the HHS mandate becomes readily apparent.

    By putting contraceptives under the rubric of “preventative medicine” pregnancy is repositioned from a condition once thought to be life-giving to one considered life-threatening, equating pregnancy with illness. But pregnancy is not a disease; it is a necessary and procreative way of life….

    Make no mistake; this mandate is about more than contraception. It is statism at work. Having redefined government’s role in reproductive rights, who knows what other surprises lurk in the jack-in-the-box called ObamaCare. And if Obama gains a second term, he won’t give a hoot what religious organizations object to – since he will no longer need their votes…..”

    He may be clueless about the economy, but he is not (or at least his advisors are not) stupid. This fight with the Catholic church over contraception was carefully conceived (pun not intended) and implemented, and with his spurious “accommodation” he has already turned it around to make the right – yet again – look obstructive and unreasonable. Abortion will be next, and just in time for the election. The Komen foundation debacle has shown how, for pro-abortion voters, this issue transcends all other considerations. Meanwhile, the Republicans are rudderless on the issue.

    I don’t know how to stage a protest or a march on Washington but if someone is willing to help me, I’m more then willing to take to the streets and a huge megaphone screaming at Congress and the White House to get the hell out of our Bedrooms and Kitchens……

    Couple questions though- first, thought it wasn’t set to go into effect until 2014- is that right?

    Second, isn’t there a case regarding the unconstitutionality of the mandate (i.e. fascist demand) to buy insurance contained in the bill, and due to a lack of “severability” written into the monstrosity if the mandate is declared unconstitutional the whole thing is flushed?

    Usurper Fake President Barry Soetero Fake Name Barck Hussein Obama, Fake and Illegitimate Constitutional Professor, has enacted his War on Religion upon the People. He has “set his face like flint” against the organized religions of America.

    But, he has forgotten all of us who are NOT ‘organized’, but have our own spirituality. We, who as a whole, have eschewed organization, because it would become no different than ‘the organized religions’, in time, and not be worth a dime, due to human nature, as it is.

    We, too, uphold and hold dear that pesky little thing called the U.S. Constitution. Some of us have died in military service, defending that pesky little piece of paper, for all those who call them American. We may have our own debates on the principles of yea or nay on abortion, but we, as a whole, do not agree with the federal government interjecting itself into unlawful administrations and abstractions of The Bill of Rights, which is for ALL Americans.

    Before America was, those that lived here in “The colonies”, were considered subjects of a King, who also defined the State religion. That was part of the listed reasons why the American Revolution, happened. Today, we are witnessing the channeling of King George III, in all his vengeful fury for ‘losing the colonies’, through a Mohammedan lay person, whose name is Barack Hussein Obama.

    Do you like being thought of as a ‘subject’?
    Do you like being thought of as existing solely, for the functioning and future of the State?
    Do you like that every speech This King speaks, counts for ALL the population to be a working population, with no mention of the aged or infirmed or presently retired?
    Do you like a King that considers what you think is your money, as his money?
    Do you like a King, that thinks that your right to self-preservation is foolish, and you should just surrender your safety unto him?
    Do you like a King, who considers you, an agent agaisnt the federal government, if you pay for your coffee shop drink of choice, with cash?

    Read the Declaration of Independence, as “a laundry list of wrongs committed by a King”, and tell me there is nothing that this President/King is doing, is not found there!

In this case the stupid healthcare law was enacted with those specific powers given to the Secretary of HHS – Sebelius – and to whom does she report – hussein. So the Congress is duplicitous in giving power to hussein – power that was never intended by the framers of our Constitution.

  96. Grass Mud Horsey says:

    @stratus- “Oooo this is going to be a battle….might as well go ahead and get your religious ammunition ready because you’re now in the crosshairs of Obama’s administration and he takes no prisoners.”

    Agreed it is a battle- but earflaps’s latest assault is more about abusing constitutional power and establishing a totalitarian state than it is about him tromping on religion.

    What turtlehead is attempting to do is dictate two things- one, that the federal gov’t can control what a company sells and what they will charge for it; and two, the federal gov’t can dictate what benefits an employer will or will not provide to their employees.

    The Catholic Church just happens to be the first employer Preznit downgrade chose to dictate to- a very large blunder, as the Church ain’t going to roll over like the Wall Streeters did (remember “I’m the only thing keeping you from the pitchforks”?- good times, brownshirty good times).

    The issue at hand is being confused (one could argue purposely by the comically in the tank msm) with the smokescreen of Catholics being morally against contraception and abortion.

    But the reason for their objection is irrelevant- the federal gov’t does NOT have the authority to dictate to a business what benefits they’ll provide to an employee. Additionally, the federal gov’t does NOT have the authority to control product and price in the supposed free market.

    At least they don’t in the world I was brought up in.

    Now what?

    Isn’t there a law mandating that if an employer has 20 or more employees, that employ must offer a health insurance plan.
