The church has to pay for those requested services in the rate. If some things are not covered then the rate goes down So YES, they ARE requiring the church to provide those services and YES I do have a problem with that as it is a violation of the boundaries between church and state (and a bunch of other constitutional statues) Well, technically there is no constitutional statute or any other law requiring a separation of Church and State. I hink there is

If I heard correctly is that Obama said that the insurance company would prvide it to the employee for free but that cost would be passed on to the church through the premium. I would only agree if a seperate policy is attached and the employee paid out thier own pocket 100% of the addition.

I have a problem with the church being made to pay for it, if the individual wants this coverage they should have to pay for it themselves with a rider attached to the policy.

I believe premarital childbirth is covered under any policy that covers postmarital childbirth now. The uproar over a policy that asked one's marital status for certain procedures would be interesting. Wendy P. Pregnancy is on all group policies and cannot not be removed here in Illinois. Since my shop has a group policy my wifes insurance has pregnancy covered with a higher premium eventhough my wife cannot get pregnant nor can I get her pregnant. these are some of the things in insurance that really piss me off because the pregnancy coverage is espensive but I don't want to pay for it. I am made to pay about $100 a month for something I don't want and cannot use. All this stuff in the health care bill adds to the list of things you pay for but don't use or want.

hey I noticed 2&1/2 men is not in there, maybe they should bring Charlie back

Yes you do, the church has to provide insurance or be fined since they employ over 50 people. so the money they are fined will go to pay for insurance for people that have contrception in the policy. therefore they either provide insurance with contrception, or pay a higher premium because it is still mandated to be given by the insurance company, or pay a fine that goes towards paying for insurance that has contrception in it. there is no way out of not paying for or providing contraception for the church. so by supporting the bill in any way makes the church supply or pay for something that goes against the religion and that is illegal acording to the constitution.

Yes I agree...but are you willing to pay $10 / lb of coffee and $1k for an Ipod in the name of human rights? are you willing to live with a flat 401k that never grows? We want cheap products and a retirement fund that will allow us to live well. And thus we need cheap labor....which then takes away our jobs..... No matter how you cut it...not good! funny thing how spoiled you are and how much you whine about things, I was watching a show about Munbai India the other day and a fact that I thought was startleing was that 40% of the people in the 2nd largest city in India don't even have running water. You complain about how the rich owe you and the bankers are thiefs and how corrupt capitalism is, but you can't seem to understand that the rich and capitalism has provided the very things that millions don't have in one city. I think it is time for you to start to appreciate the simple things you do receive thank to the rich people that pay millions every year to provide the basic life altering services that almost a billion people don't even have.

Of course. Now try telling that to a 15 yr old kid. Not all 15 year old drink. Believe it or not, some actually exhibit strength and maturity because their parents are involved with what's going on in their kids lives and steer them down the right path. simplistic sound bytes may sound warm and fuzzy, but they do very little to advance this discussion. this discussion is not about parenting skills. Its about marketing alcohol to naive, impressionable young people on indian reservations plagued by grinding poverty, staggering rates of existing alcoholism, terrible education and ignorance. any discussion that fails to take that into consideration is simply bankrupt. from what you said here it looks like the adults are the issue not the beer companies.

Donating it to charity would have made more sense to me, but it wouldn't have made a very good YouTube video. But I'm sort of skeptical about the authenticity here anyway... smells a bit like balloon boy. I personally wouldn't donate my computers to anyone. With all the personal info that is hidden on it, I wouldn't want anyone to dig up, say, my bank acxount info. The reason why the dad had the daughter's computed is because she wanted him to fix it. That is how he found the comments. If he wanted to donate it, he would have had to pay to fix it and then wipe it. If it's an older computer, it would be cheaper just to buy a computer to donate. I heard on the news earlier that grounding and other typical parenting techniques were not getting through. A dramatic gesture was what finally got through to the kid. For all the arm chair quarterbacks, when was the last time you have had to deal with a teenager? MTV and their friends at high school have created some unique parenting challenges. The guy sounded pretty tech savvy, or at least, savvy enough to do his own wipe. There are free programs out there that will scrub your HD clean of anything and everything by writing/rewriting pseudo random data over and over and over and over again. I use one such program at work to scrub off patient info. Works really well and is pretty quick. And yeah, if you go back and listen again, he makes mention a few times that normal techniques / punishments weren't working and so this was just the next step in a long line of things. Apparently, this wasn't her first offense. he found her post by accident on their dogs facebook page. She blocked family from seeing her post but did not have the dogs face book under family. A lesson many kids seem to not understand is that when you put something on the internet it is there for ALL to see.

Haven't the French figured this out? So did the US. The all but completed waste disposal facility in Nevada is being held hostage by Sen. Light Foot Harry Reid. that would mean it has not been figured out.

We know how to do it. It's just a matter of where to do it. The technology exists. The politics prevent it. The problem with radioactive waste isn't that it can't be stored, the problem is that it has to be stored in a way that is sealed forever, and that can not be guaranteed for ever.

the cracks in the reactor buildings that leaked out the radioactive water was most likely from the earthquake. the big problem with nuclear is the disposal of the waste and that has still not been figured out how to be done.

The association does limit many things with the bylaws they pass. I couldn't sell my townhome in 2008 so I decided to rent it, the board decided toi have a vote to not allow renters. I started doing some studying and found out alot of things I didn't know about in reguards to renting and buying property. the FHA loan is the easiest way for a young person to get a loan butmany bylaws in associations prevent FHA loans causing a huge drop in property values from not being able to sell units. to many younger people do not read the bylaws before buying, don't go to meetings and don't get involved on the board. become a board memeber and work to change the bylaws to alow FHA loans and you will see property values increase. Remember old people don't work and have alot of time to be board members to control their standard of living and are not concerned with property values as a result.

hey I paid just under 15% on gains on my investments last year, I guess it isn't just the rich that get the breaks. mybe you should try investing instead of bitching and you too could be a buffet.

Oh? Is that the standard you want; a complete "user pays" society rather than shared responsibility? Are you sure? I think what is meant here is that Romney paid 3 mil and the people that are mostly complaining gave nothing or next to nothing. they need to pay for some also. Oh, I agree, GE ought to pay more taxes. Last year they not only paid zero, but actually got subsidy money. no argument here, EVERYBODY needs to pay something.

Bull - he sounds like a person that understand 'legal' vs 'spin'. Neither a Dem or Rep advocate falls into that category in this topic. I understand what you are saying but what was meant by my comment was that republicans feal you should be able to keep more of what you earn and spend how you want and dem's want to distribute what you earn as they want. Bill was defending Romney's income and tax % allowing him to keep what he earned.

Fair to me means everyone contributes or is excluded. It also means all are allowed to contribute.

last I heard was that most of the bottom earners paid little or no fed tax, they my have some taken out of the paycheck but it all comes back in april, for those that don't pay what is their fair share?

So maybe we should not pay them? you forget that america is evil and china is not, that is why we have to pay and they don't. Don't you remember Obama apologizing for the US.

This. I don't begrudge Romney at all. He makes big bucks and pays what he has to. My problem is with a tax code that says I should pay double his tax rate when I make 0.5% of his income. The upper reaches of our economic ladder should pay at least the same rate as us working middle class fools, and honestly they could afford to dig a bit deeper than those of us who have to actually save/budget for things like transportation, home repairs, medical bills, etc. Blues, Dave the issue should be on the bottom 10% that pay nothing in federal taxes, what is their fair share? since we are talking fair, why not make EVERYONE pay the same percentage of all income, that is about as fair as it can get. These leaches calling for fair share from the top 1% have no idea what fair means. what is their fair share?

Better be carefull billvon, your are starting to sound like a republican.

at least he paid his taxes, unlike many in Obama's administration that did not pay taxes.

maybe they should buy a ticket and ride in the car instead. Just like the responsible ones do.
