What do we do about HC for the poor? (financial, education, abuse)

Since when is birth control illegal? It's free (taxpayer-subsidized) at literally tens of thousands of public health department family planning clinics throughout the US.

Trump just did aid an executive order that takes birth control out of the "provided services" category.
It isn't free.

The point is that neither side wants their pockets picked to pay for those who lack personal responsibility. Not our job to pay their way.

I heard on the radio the other day that teen pregnancies are at an all time low thanks to Obamacare.
Let us see what it is in future years

I owned my own business, but shut it down and retired early. I've been buying my own insurance for about 25 years. Self-insured for routine medical care and had a catastrophic policy until O-ripoff-care ruined that. What I had before was SIGNIFICANTLY less expensive. It's GREAT that Trump is bringing that option back.

It is if you go to a public health department family planning clinic. Funded by local/state taxes, which are MUCH more fair because they have MUCH flatter tax rates. There are literally tens of thousands of them all over the US.

The employers don’t pay for “me.” It’s the part of the benefit meaning it’s the money I have earned. Essentially, I pay for myself.

It's evolution. Liberals don't believe in evolution.

Darwinism: The theory of the evolution of species by natural selection

When the process of natural selection is thwarted, it weakens the species. Not a good plan for the future of humankind.

The left is very weak in the United States. In any other country Democrats would be considered center right.
