Have you ever seen a copy of the paperwork which details that accounting?

If the government should not be involved with medical decisions - shouldn't ObamaCare be repealed?

Obamacare should be repealed because the people didn't want it then, and they don't want it now. That's ALL the reason needed.

Our "representatives" need to be reminded that THEY work for US.

Like all companies getting federal money, they are required, by law, to show where every dollar of that money is spent.

If you don't believe the numbers that they give the people and the government every year, prove it in a court of law.

I know so many people who want Obamacare. Most can't get insurance because of predetermined conditions. Why should they be denied?? I am so glad that those opposed have great insurance

Insurance is not a medical decision. It is a payment system.

Obamacare has mandates on what MUST be covered, and therefore requires individuals to pay for more coverage than they might need and prefer; the Secretary of HHS a lot of rulemaking power to decide for us.

I have called Planned Parenthood and asked them about it. The woman on the phone said that based on your income, the government helped to pay for the extra cost. The Susan G. Komen Foundation stopped giving money to Planned Parenthood for a short time because they were using the money for abortions instead of completely on breast exams. They had to change their stance because the pro-choice people did not want them to have a choice as to where they sent their money(ironic isn't it). Seems to me it all gets thrown in a pot and they use it how they see fit. It would be a nightmare sorting that stuff out otherwise.
B#1. More or less. You may do a search. They have to account for their money to the govt. and to their donors.
B#2. Totally untrue. It was a political decision to de-fund PP because they are an abortion provider, not b/c they used Komen money to fund abortions.

I demand that the government stay out of my bedroom and womb while simultaneously demand that they pay for my abortions and birth control. ~signed, typical liberal dumb arse.

Liberals want to use taxpayer money to fund birth control and abortions. And they expect everyone else to stay out of their sex lives. Ultimate in hypocrisy.

And of course, a man isn't allowed to offer his opinion on the matter, unless he agrees with the liberal. Maybe if liberal women stopped stealing money from men we wouldn't offer our opinion on the matter.

NO FEDERAL MONEY IS BEING USED TO PAY FOR ELECTIVE ABORTIONS! Get that straight!

People who pay for insurance should get the drugs their doctors feel they need.

The rest doesn't even deserve a response.
