Sharia Law, Because Why Not?

Actually, I've got the perfect, PERFECT solution where everybody makes out. Check it.



Not only do you get companies out of the healthcare business (where they shouldn't have to be anyway), in this scenario no company will ever be forced to provide insurance that would offer something as anti-God as birth control, which would violate the religious beliefs of those most Christian of entities: for-profit companies.

Oh, I'm sure some bozos would then start arguing they don't want their tax dollars going towards Jesus-hating activities like this (they already do) but then perhaps they could be asked to explain why they have no problem with their tax dollars being used to drop bombs and missiles on innocent civilians and to prop up despots and other Jesus-like activities like prop up Wall St. billionaires and their firms while telling poor people they can eat dirt and live in squalor because to spend anything to help them would be socialism. There's a conversation I'd like to have.

Then again, we have to consider if we even buy that this is even a religious argument--and not simply a smokescreen for a back-door way of repealing Obamacare. Remember: they've already tried the "Constitutional" route and failed, so this is most likely another trojan horse.

Problem is, if they get this, you just opened a Pandora's box which, quite frankly, I'm surprised you're not more worried about then the gov't forcing companies to not be able to pick and choose what health services their employees get because they claim their Bible says so.

I wonder how far this would go if the company was Muslim-owned and it told employees they couldn't get their little blue erection pills because that's un-Islamic.

Something tells me O'Reilly would be blowing a gasket every night about that.

That said, can somebody point me to wear in the Bible it says that contraception is against God? Thanks.

the reason health insurance by private companies existed in this country in the first place was because some 'genius' who will remain nameless with the initals fdr came up with the idea of putting a cap on wages. to get around this fringe benefits were added, so that companies could hire the talent they wanted to hire. and thus companies providing health care was born

health insurance is often conflated with health care, but health insurance is just one way to pay for health care. the insurance ends up inflating prices for multiple reasons including people abusing it because they feel if they don't they are not "getting their money's worth" and is all around a bad idea. but "single payer"? why not "single payer" for movie tickets and so then the government just sends me to the f**k movies on the government's dime. why not "single payer" for everything. then we can all jsut walk around getting everything paid for without having to do jack shit! why hasn't anoyone thought of this?! we could go to the doctor every day and get our check ups and then to the movies. we can call our limo driver and put it on the single payer and then go at home and watch televison and order pizza delivery -- single payer is so awesome
