No, the bogeyman isn't melting. You're leaving something out: choice
You choose to have an insurance policy that covers maternity care.
Obamacare requires you to have an insurance policy that covers maternity care.
See the difference?
I guess you're right to a degree. But your employer pays a good portion of your premium and your employer plan is the one that has maternity care bundled with your policy even when you're a guy. It was so before the ACA and it is so after the ACA.
I guess you could decline your employer provided and financially subsidized policy because it has a maternity clause and opt out to buy insurance as an individual on the open market and pay for the whole thing yourself but that would be rather foolish on a financial level now wouldn't it?
Maybe principle will rule and one could say, "I choose to financially screw myself in standing by my principle and maintaining my choice".
With a current approval rating of 37% according to Gallup, his 'reputation' is beyond repair, and since he's not about to help the hordes of Democratic Senators who paid him a visit last week seeking relief from ObamaCare, he's successfully managed to get lots of Democrats mad at him and running away from him, although many of them are as radioactive politically as he is.
16 Democratic Senators are facing re-election next year; don't be surprised if several of them lose, and especially since the Virginia election gave them a severe wakeup call regarding how REALLY unpopular ObamaCare is.
mmmjv, let's put this into different context. This is like someone buying hot dogs and you're blaming the store becsue that is what the person buying the hot dogs can afford. Certainly why this person can only afford hot dogs is something that needs to be addressed but you don't fix that by making them buy steak. That's not a solution to the problem becsue steak was always an option.
That is nowhere near the same thing. The fact is this woman was being scammed. She would have been better off just putting $150 aside somewhere for a medical emergency, because that's all she would have gotten from her insurance
Meanwhile, Obama is groveling to the insurance companies begging them to un-cancel all the policies they just cancelled ("but only until after the 2014 election, then you'll have to cancel 'em again").
I have never in my lifetime witnessed such staggering incompetence in the White House. This guy makes W look like a master statesman.
