Limbaugh's message to 'feminazis'

[Cannuck]

You're still paying premiums? I though that all you inbred hillbilly's were toothless by 10 years old.

Anywho - that's great news overall... You paying permiums for a service that you can't use will offset my costs.

I notice that you have ceased trying to defend your clearly indefensible position and instead have switched to personal attacks. That is a sure sign you have been....

Not that the outcome was ever in doubt. It was inevitable the second you aligned yourself with the drug addicted, misogynistic blowhard.

 

[CDNBear]

My understanding is that she would be paying for her own birth control through her insurance much like I am paying for my own "free" prescriptions through my Blue Cross coverage.

You pay for your own Blue Cross coverage?

That must be one of those special union perks in Lethbridge - Not including a minimal union administrative fee, you're permitted to pay your own health insurance.

Helluva deal, eh?

Interesting deal to say the least. I've never heard of a unionized worker having to buy his own health insurance before.

According to this:

It depends on the coverage someone chose. If they opt up, the employee pays 100%. Regardless, the employee pays 100% of their life insurance and Alberta Health Care premiums.

There are no "Alberta Health Care Premiums".

 

[Tonington]

There are no "Alberta Health Care Premiums".

I'm just quoting the agreement between Lethbridge and the union representing the Municipal workers:

b) The monthly premium costs for core benefits will be paid as follows:
i) Premiums for Core Extended Health Care and Core Dental Care will be
100% paid by the Employer.
ii) Premiums for Basic Life Insurance and Alberta Health Care will be 100%
paid by employees.
c) Should Alberta Healthcare premiums cease, the Employer will maintain the 2008
level of flex credits, in addition to any newly negotiated increases.
​

Which seems to be this:
Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan – Alberta Health and Wellness

You pay for your own Blue Cross coverage?

Doesn't everybody?

 

[gerryh]

regardless, none of this has anything to do with the whiny bitch trying to get Catholic Doctorine changed through government legislation.

 

[CDNBear]

Doesn't everybody?

No. I pay 100% of my Blue Cross. But I'm not a unionized city employee like you've claimed to be.

Unless you were only talking about paying for upgrades. Is that the case?

Or Limpbag and his big mouth.

I pay for my Blue cross as well. I'm pretty sure you would have a tough time finding somebody that doesn't.

 

[gerryh]

Union and you don't have an extended medical plan payed for? What kind of a candy assed union is that? I have full extended 100% payed for by my employer..... and we are NOT a union shop.

 

[CDNBear]

I pay for my Blue cross as well.

100% of the whole package?

 

[DaSleeper]

Let's all quit dancing....what we mean is drug plan...not major medical.

The entire situation is simply a radical attack by the Obama administration on freedom of religion.

Rush is a pig.

Obama is 1,000 times worse.

What makes it radical? The medical community has very clearly stated the health benefits and made specific recommendations, which were then incorporated into the healthcare act. It's not radical to listen to your doctor, even less so when it is the medical consensus...

Clinical Preventive Services for Women: Closing the Gaps - Institute of Medicine

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. The ACA addresses preventive services for both men and women of all ages, and women in particular stand to benefit from additional preventive health services. The inclusion of evidence-based screenings, counseling and procedures that address women’s greater need for services over the course of a lifetime may have a profound impact for individuals and the nation as a whole.

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.

But that's your opinion I guess, that it's radical to prevent illness... Mine would be that opinions and beliefs should not be more important or carry more weight than the health and well being of others. To me, that's radical.

The attack of a basic tenent of the Roman Catholic Faith. That's what is radical. What is next for the government to legislate?
