What a messed up country we live, where your employer decides what medical care is accessible to you 20yrboater New

If the Amish don't have to carry workman's comp, why should the Catholics be required to pay for birth control?

I'm not opposed to a single payer system, but I'm not totally convinced it's the final answer since the part of healthcare that is growing the fastest is that provided by Medicare and Medicaid.

Great, I'm a Jehova Witness, we don't believe in blood being drawn so I won't pay for blood tests or transfusions <NT> Helly New

Well, that is correct, since you wouldn't have it done. <NT> lrcable New

So then it's ok for a Jehova Witness owned company not to have to pay for blood or blood tests? <NT> Helly New

I think it would be fine for people under the Hall's insurance to not cover transfusion. lrcable New

Sad that the right wing wants to keep employment and health care locked together. Free the private sector. <NT> 20yrboater New
