The never-ending Republican War on Women has carried-over into the health care reform debate.
John Stossel of Faux News is a good one for making stupid statements in meaningless rants. In a few short years he’ll be just another grumpy old man sitting on the porch bitching about “the government”. Here’s Stossel last week on why he feels women should pay more for health care:
The competition of the market is the only thing that makes things better. Yesterday, President Obama stood in front of a bunch of women in Massachusetts and said, ‘No longer will those evil insurance companies be able to charge you women more.’
Women go to the doctor much more often than men! Maybe they’re smarter or maybe they’re hypochondriacs. They live longer. Who knows? But if it’s insurance, you ought to be able to charge people who use the services more, more.
Then some knucklehead from Forbes was on Faux News this week in what seemed like an attempt to get his “bros” to rise-up against women:
So, the key thing to understand is Obamacare is a war on bros. It’s young men in particular who are going to pay a lot more. Young people are going to pay more, men are going to pay more relative to women and healthy people are going to pay more relative to sick people.
Yeah, and that what’s called insurance. Not everyone pays the same rates. But because of Obamacare, millions more will be able to afford health insurance and not be locked-out of the system because of pre-existing conditions.
I have to wonder what kind of relationship these douchebags have with the women in their lives. It can’t be good.
