I wonder if "Fergie's naughty honeymoon surprise" is secret code for "unplanned pregnancy and hasty abortion." You know, to fit in with the new political theme of Cosmo.
I keep seeing "it would expand coverage to all but 6% of Americans" can someone tell me who those 6% of Americans would be and why they wouldn't be eligible?
@veronykah: Probably above the threshold for Medicaid but would rather take the penalty than buy insurance. If you let people opt out of programs (even if they incur a fee), you'll have these folks.
Why the fuck should you pay for it Politico assholes?
It is because it is a LEGAL medical procedure that should be kept as such. Taxpayers pay for lots of shit they don't use necessarily. I don't have any use for military and think that it shouldn't receive as much funding as it does. I don't have any use for vasectomies, Viagara, prostate exams and penis cancer screenings. But guess what, I pay for it, and I am proud to do so. It's a community for a reason, we are supposed to help one another.
@DutchessOfDork: Politico assholes should pay for it because an abortion is a hell of a lot cheaper than prenatal care, followed by a hospital birth, followed by a lifetime of medical care for an unwanted child.
I don't know how I feel about this. It's like my grandmother joining facebook, cute but not quite right. I'm on the fence until I know for sure this doesn't involve putting anything up your boyfriends butt or underwear hairties.
@NellMood: Already did. Made note never to sleep with those idiots. One of whom I officially want to follow around all day and say things like, "put down that cheeseburger! I'm not paying for your triple bypass! Get off the computer and go exercise, lazy turd! Eat some veggies, I don't want to deal with your colon cancer!"
First Harry Reid, now Cosmo? What's next? Heidi Montag holds a press conference at which, clad soberly in a charcoal suit, she explains in a clear, articulate manner that this amendment represents an unwelcome intrusion of the government into a women's personal lives and a major setback for women's rights?
Well played, Cosmo! Making me hate you all these years when you had this deep in your insides all along. You're like that cheerleader who you hated all through high school until one day she told her bitchy friends to stop making fun of you for being fat because they were just jealous of how cute your outfit was and then you weren't sure if you loved her or you hated her but everyone left you alone after that.
@Maritsa: Interesting bit of news. Haven't read the article yet, but I wonder if that means major surgery like face lifts, or does it also include minor procedures like IPL laser treatments to get red of those pesky sun spots?
@Maritsa: I'd say that's smart, given that one of the most common objections I hear regarding health insurance is that "money is wasted on cosmetic surgery!" (Never mind that I've never seen a plan that covers elective cosmetic surgery.)
@la.donna.pietra: I'm LOLing at the idea of my insurance company, which just fought me on a benefit whose coverage is (1) clearly in my plan and (2) mandated by state law, paying for a boob job or face lift.
@la.donna.pietra: My roommate used to work in Hollywood. She said that a lot of actor's health plans covered elective plastic surgery as a necessity for their careers. Women would marry actors specifically for the insurance so they could get some plastic surgery done. Weird.
@angryyoungwoman: I have serious difficulty believing that. I've worked for a number of companies managing their insurance plans and reviewing possible new plans, and I've never seen a plan that covered elective plastic surgery. While the Screen Actors Guild does have health insurance, it's notoriously bare-bones. Your roommate sounds a mite naive.
@la.donna.pietra: Well, it's been a long time since she was an actress (or auditioning for shows and dating actors, more accurately), so I could see that a lot of things have probably changed. She's also crazy, so there is that . . .

Let's get it out
I got my rights
But then they shout:
"Don't go out and kill it-
Like, it's against my God!
Jump off the doctor's bed
Or die die OFF!"
