    Do you watch the news?. Trader Joes and Forever 21 are just two of the latest that have been on the news... there are far more that haven't made the news.

    Right... thats what you want us to think... but the fact is that's not true... many of them will get it free or subsidized... that means someone else is getting shafted picking up the bill... thats those of us who actually work for a living AND pay taxes... unlike them.

    That only works if the targeted audience is intelligent enough to listen... most of them aren't. Because its been tried... they think they know everything already.

    Then we will keep after them and not give up. I'm think this could be a wonderful bipartisan effort with pizza parties and songs and hand clapping.

    And we could change Hollywood and the media along with it!

    Only if you first can find a cure for the ignorance and arrogance of youth. Because that has to be surmounted before anything changes.

    For the millionth time, only an idiot would be mad at someone else getting what most of us have and paying for it themselves.

    The alternative is we go back to paying for them to get what they should have had themselves. Can't believe you are for that.

    I cannot tell you how many times I have read, heard and watched some lib wagging their finger at us telling us to keep the government out of our bedrooms. Well my liberal friends, I expect some outrage over this...

    Obamacare will question your sex life

    ‘Are you sexually active? If so, with one partner, multiple partners or same-sex partners?”

    Be ready to answer those questions and more the next time you go to the doctor, whether it’s the dermatologist or the cardiologist and no matter if the questions are unrelated to why you’re seeking medical help. And you can thank the Obama health law.

    “This is nasty business,” says New York cardiologist Dr. Adam Budzikowski. He called the sex questions “insensitive, stupid and very intrusive.” He couldn’t think of an occasion when a cardiologist would need such information — but he knows he’ll be pushed to ask for it.
    It's none of their damn business. Right?

    The president’s “reforms” aim to turn doctors into government agents, pressuring them financially to ask questions they consider inappropriate and unnecessary, and to violate their Hippocratic Oath to keep patients’ records confidential.

    Embarrassing though it may be, you confide things to a doctor you wouldn’t tell anyone else. But this is entirely different.

    Doctors and hospitals who don’t comply with the federal government’s electronic-health-records requirements forgo incentive payments now; starting in 2015, they’ll face financial penalties from Medicare and Medicaid. The Department of Health and Human Services has already paid out over $12.7 billion for these incentives.

    Dr. Richard Amerling, a nephrologist and associate professor at Albert Einstein Medical College, explains that your medical record should be “a story created by you and your doctor solely for your treatment and benefit.” But the new requirements are turning it “into an interrogation, and the data will not be confidential.”

    Lack of confidentiality is what concerned the New York Civil Liberties Union in a 2012 report. Electronic medical records have enormous benefits, but with one click of a mouse, every piece of information in a patient’s record, including the social history, is transmitted, disclosing too much.
    Add the massive expansion of government snooping and I'd say your guy has virtually shredded your right to privacy and mine.

    That's not all, this is for you ex...

    The social-history questions also include whether you’ve ever used drugs, including IV drugs. As the NYCLU cautioned, revealing a patient’s past drug problem, even if it was a decade ago, risks stigma.
    Why does the government need to know this stuff? Come on, convince me some more how Zerocare isn't a clusterfark.

    Forgive me for doubting the veracity of YOUR truth. The last repeal vote didn't reflect that, quite the opposite.

    We youths back in the '50s and '60s were ignorant and arrogant (in our own way) but 99% of us didn't get pregnant. What changed since then? (Miley Cyrus isn't helping.)
