If it is because someone just wants an abortion then they should pay themselves. I hope viagra is not covered either. I don't think the taxpayers should pay for someone's viagra either. It is covered.

Well, we know that Roe v. Wade isn't going away. What these people don't understand is that they've been paying for some abortions already! This is nothing new. I am anxious to see what the Senate does next.

Read some of the fundamentalist parrot-posts on the forum, and see how many of them hurl insults, obscenities and threats of eternal damnation or earthly demise. In my view, biker chick is way less of an annoyance than they.

And you're right, this is nothing new-but the Repugnicans don't get the bigger picture WITH ANYTHING!!!(And some Dems too).

Please GOD (or whatever higher power one subscribes to, if any) let the Senate dump this monstrosity in the trash and require the whole process be started over. This time, lets have some foresight, compassion, and COGITATION involved, instead of cobbling together 2000+ pages of gobbledegook and ramming it down the collective throats of the American people.

In my view, biker chick is way less of an annoyance than they. I do realize both sides have behaved badly. I just happened to see your post on BC at the top of this page. I don't believe in eternal damnation and no other person can judge others in that way. As for BC, she just runs her mouth like a street punk. So in reality, I just ignore the damnation threats and the insults. I don't know if we can even trust the government to run our healthcare. They couldn't even help ensure there'd be enough vaccine for their dreaded h1n1 plague.

I think that might be Glaxo and Roche...not the government this time.

I also didn't exactly blame the government. I said they "couldn't even help..."

They (government) couldn't help getting the vaccine to the public any faster. We all the blame the government for many things-personally, if I could blame Bush for this vaccine screw up, I would..but sadly, I can't :)

One of the homeless just kept shouting, "the government!" The government does make a convenient scapegoat.

Kramer is no longer everyone's darling....although I am very willing to cut some people slack...he's one and Andre Agassi is another..so far.

I guess if you're a celeb then there's always a chance of slipping and blurting out something in public that you didn't mean to say out loud. What'd Andre Agassi do?
