Like I said, I care as much as you do and the only thing you care about is you. What do you care as long as you get subsidized. Hey, IF I am insured at least I got breeder care now.

I get no subsidy, but I don't begrudge others who do.

Breeder care? Millions who were uninsured are now insured. I care about that. Don't assume that others have the same nasty, selfish outlook you do.

Breeders? You mean women? Why should we be charging women more for insurance just because they areborn with a vagina?

Because it costs more to insure women. For one, pregnancies cost more. Plus women live longer which means they will receive more care over the length of life than men.

Do women all get pregnant? Do fetuses magically appear in their vaginas? And what does how long one lives matter, you pay for insurance for as long as you live?

1. Do all teens get in car crashes? They all don't but they all pay higher rates for increas risk. Just like woman are an increase risk of costing more in medical care.
2. Doesn't matter how fetus gets into the Vagina, it's a woman's body to make her own decisions as she chooses. Part of it being her own decision is paying for the care she wants.
3. The cost of insurance towards end of life hardly covers the cost of coverage.

Little unknown fact, smokers are cheaper to insure over their life than non smokers because they die sooner, cutting out 20-30 years of care.

So are children who die in infancy. I'm not encouraging it, however.

Maybe you should contact your children and ask them to help you with this. That is what my mom does when she encounters something difficult like this.
Well, minimum requirements might mean maternity benefits or children's' dental, which he may not even need.
