Obamacare is delivering~

[sheshe2]

Women shouldn’t have to pay more than men for the same health coverage. Thanks to Obamacare, they won’t have to.




Today is #WomensEqualityDay. A good day to remember that thanks to Obamacare, insurance companies will no longer be able to charge women more than men for the same coverage.



Senator Ted Kennedy introduces the Health Security Act, which calls for a national single-payer health care plan.



"We have now just enshrined, as soon as I sign this bill, the core principle that everybody should have some basic security when it comes to their health care. And it is an extraordinary achievement that has happened because of all of you and all the advocates all across the country."—President Obama signs the Affordable Care Act into law

Women Senators: GOP's Birth Control Amendment 'Defies Logic'

WASHINGTON -- Democratic female senators are stunned the government is on the verge of shutting down and Republicans are once again using the crisis to target birth control and preventative care for women, a group of them said on Monday.

Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) told reporters that the Senate will unequivocally reject a provision sent to them by House Republicans this weekend that would allow employers to deny women birth control coverage for moral reasons.

"In the dead of night, while most of us were sleeping, they snuck in a provision one more time that specifically targets women of this country," Hirono said. "It's just amazing. We have laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, race, religion, and yet they put in a provision that just targets women. It truly defies logic."

The "conscience clause," which would also allow employers to opt out of covering screenings for cervical cancer, pregnancy-related diabetes and sexually transmitted infections, was added into the House spending bill on Saturday. The provision is similar to Sen. Roy Blunt's (R-Mo.) controversial proposal in 2011, which the Senate rejected.

"Here's the thing," Boxer told reporters, "Republicans already lost a vote on this very provision in the U.S. Senate, and they lost an election in part because the voters rejected their war on women, but still the war on women continues. They cannot seem to stop themselves, so we will stop them."

2. Obamacare is Delivering, she! Here's some relevant Facts about Obamacare.. Dispelling the Myths..

And, as always.. Eat your Fruits and Veggies..



Mahalo for your thread, she~

5. Did I mention that I love Facts!

Thank you for so many of them.

As for myself, I have good employer coverage. In MASS we are on a good solid footing, we have Romney care. This was strengthened by our sweet State Democratic Congress, much to RMonies chagrin.

Yet I am beside myself with happiness and pride, that this law will help so many people. It's about all of us Cha~ We stand together!

PS~ The last picture is to die for!

4. Normally I skip church the Sunday after one of my letters shows up in the paper

Or if anything too upsetting to the locals has happened on the national scene. But I'm feeling the powerful urge to go anyway this week. I WILL NOT MISBEHAVE! But it could be a quiet inner thrill to see certain heads spinning. Promise I'll be so sweet butter wouldn't melt in my mouth. And yes, I know it's not all that nice of me, but I still want to see it.

[sheshe2]

7. See it and please write about it when it happens!

9. Thanks. But first I have to wipe this big stoopid grin off my face.

There might be a few stray canary feathers around the corners of my mouth, too. I ended that letter with something like "If the man who responded to an earlier letter of mine with the screed about 'lying hyenas of socialism!' wants to take another swing at it, feel free. Won't matter. When it comes to meaningful, beneficial, and critically needed change, my personal (if borrowed) mantra always has been and ever will be: yes we can, yes we did, and we're not nearly done." Signed, (my name), Lifelong Solidarity Democrat and Proud of It.

That might be taken for a challenge.

But I love standing up to bullies. It will be interesting to see if the new pastor says anything to me although it would be in private, I'm sure. He's actually a pretty smart and decent guy. Honest, I intend to be the very soul of sweetness. If I start practicing now, maybe I'll have it down pat in 3 more days.
