Who knew, it takes one to tango. Dear lord.... <blockquote>"This is a business decision. Insurers may not want to raise rates for men because they might lose some customers."</blockquote> Goddammit, I feel better already, they are not afraid of losing mine, even though I pay more? But, but, we use the services more! <blockquote>Insurers said they charged women more than men because claims showed that women ages 19 to 55 tended to use more health care services. They are more likely to visit doctors, to get regular checkups, to take prescription drugs and to have certain chronic illnesses.</blockquote> How selfish, how irresponsible even, rather than waiting for catastrophe to strike. One good thing about health care reform <blockquote>In addition, the law broadly prohibits sex discrimination under "any health program or activity"</blockquote> Perhaps that is why the right objects so much? If only we would stay pregnant? <blockquote>In Springfield, Ill., for example, a 30-year-old woman pays $278 a month for a popular Blue Cross Blue Shield plan, and the extra charge for maternity coverage is $270 a month, according to eHealthInsurance.com.</blockquote> Yep, it takes one to tango. rss@dailykos.com (LaFeminista) Chicago Equality Health Care HealthCare Illinois youbetcha _1075863 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 21:29:51 +0000 Sarah Palin Vindicated: Colbert Re-enactment Proves It! https://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/6/7/982824/-Sarah-Palin-Vindicated-Colbert-Re-enactment-Proves-It Last night's Colbert Nation was the site of an historical re-enactment of the ride of Paul Revere.  Host, Stephen Colbert even put himself in harm's way by saddling up to a <strike>real,</strike> <strike>live</strike> department store rocking horse to demonstrate how firing warning shots, and ringing bells whilst screaming "The British are coming, the British are coming" and warning the British themselves they're not taking our guns ... is not only plausible!  But it even shows how Paul Revere put his life in danger with this epic feat. rss@dailykos.com (Detroit Mark) ColbertNation History PaulRevere Recommended Sarah Palin SarahPalin StephenColbert youbetcha _982824 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 09:28:15 +0000 Sarah Palin-You Betcha https://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/7/24/887248/-Sarah-Palin-You-Betcha Please take 2 minutes and watch this video I made.

In everything that happens to her, from meeting Todd to her selection by Mr. McCain for the Republican ticket, she sees the hand of God: "My life is in His hands. I encourage readers to do what I did many years ago, invite Him in to take over." </blockquote> <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2009/11/15/palin-book-evolution/">ThinkProgress.org</a> </blockquote>     Wow.
