They can't do that now for obvious reasons, but they'll be perfectly positioned to hit the reset button after this election. LOL. You're hilarious. Good luck with that pro-tax cut anti-spending anti-revenue evangelical war-baiting pro-life homophobic all white-guy party over there. User was warned for this post | ||

He could not possibly cause more of a ruckus then Clint and usually has something interesting to say. Not to mention he is good example of someone who is rich and cares about other things more then money, unlike most of the Republicans who seem to idolize wealth above all else. And he knows how to balance a checkbook - unlike most Democrats! Ba-zing!! | ||

I'm sure that Obama will do just fine pursuing miscellaneous humanitarian concerns after he's relieved of his presidential duties in January. If only Obama had the strength of character to be like Palin and quit and do what he really wants to do, make speeches without consequences and play golf. | ||

Maybe they are trying to motivate the left, but I was impressed... of course de ja vu with the rhetoric all over again. It does seem to have more substance just in the opening round than the entirety of the RNC, but again, maybe they are just speaking my language. I think it has a lot to do with how powerful certain social issues can be when presented orally; stuff like the removal of DADT and the merits of universal healthcare are more easily translated into hype than a critique of economic policy. | ||

In a sense, this can be true, if they take into account potential risk factors such as pregnancy. Whether or not this is a fair practice, and whether or not it should be banned, is another question altogether. I think it's fairly plausible that they did this - it's similar to "pre-existing conditions", except in this case the pre-existing condition referred to is being a woman. Companies are in it for the money, and as such, they want to insure people least likely to actually need insurance. It simply isn't good business to insure someone that's likely to actually need it. Obviously, this goes against the very point of insurance, but when it's for-profit, that's the way you have to do it. By that logic life insurance companies only want immortals for customers. You are correct however that since the concept of insurance is tied to risk in a sane business model, it doesn't make much sense to force the companies to act as a discount service of taking money from young healthy people to pay for known regular costs such as Sandra Fluke's contraceptives. | ||
