Women's groups applied equal pressure to have the mandate that birth control be funded. Once again, if you don't believe in birth control DON"T USE it, but you have no right to take that away from women who want and need it. Do you think Catholics don't use birth control?
As for insurance, let me tell you, you are paying for every person who does not have insurance. You are paying for illegals getting health care. You are paying for the idiots who don't use seat belts and drive drunk.
I have a much simpler solution. If you don't have the required insurance, then you don't get treated when you are ill and injured. Do you like that alternative better?

OK.. one last time.
This is not just about me disagreeing with President Obama. All presidents have citizens disagree with them.
My problem is the President thinking he can ORDER private businesses to order companies to provide goods and services FREE.
Do you not see how dangerous that is?
If you own a business will you be ok with President Obama telling you to provide your goods and services FREE to his political allies... women, minorities.. etc?
If you say ok.. then you must be ok with President Santorum ORDERING your business to provide your goods and services FREE to his allies.. Catholics, right wingers, the RICH..
I am CERTAIN you would not be ok with that.
It is the end of this country as we know it if the President can really do this.
Regarding me paying in my premiums for others who do not have insurance. I do NOT agree with that also.
I have no problem with STATES taxing for health care for citizens IF their CONSTITUTIONS allow it. I would not support it but I do not deny the authority of STATES to do it if they choose to do so. I can then move to another STATE if I choose.
This country for most of its history did not have socialized medicine. We do not need it now. I am fine with that.
My final point is there is no such thing as FREE. When President Obama says they must provide it free.. what he means is they must SHIFT the cost to their other customers.
I do not support Santorum and will not defend his indefensible positions. I think most Repubs are worse than DEMS because Dems tell you they are for big spending government, and they vote for them. Repubs say they are NOT big spenders but they still do, so they have two problems.. they are big spenders and they lie about it also.
