I don’t think you read the posting. It said the following:

“Virtually all health insurance plans could soon be required to offer female patients free coverage of prescription birth control”

It has nothing to do with the insurance industry making a decision to be, in your words “smart enough to know what’s good for them.” Nothing in this world is free; legislators simply decide who is going to pay for things. And most people prefer that someone else pay. And frankly, if it’s such a good idea why is it only prescription birth control for women? Why not all birth control used by women or men? Where’s the logic there?

And you know what? If we eliminated all babies, we wouldn’t even need birth control! What a savings.

I think everything should be free – why didn’t someone think of that before?[/quote]

Not quite free.

But birth control and family planning are pretty damn cheap and result in greater savings for insurance companies, the health care system, and society as a whole.[/quote]

So is it your point that things are relatively cheap, would result in savings for insurance companies (I didn’t know anyone was worried about them) the health care system and society should be free? Like say, healthy food, sunscreen, condoms, etc. etc? Like I said, why hasn’t someone thought of this before?

The UAW/union workers don’t scapegoat the foreign workers; they blame the executives and those who (again) make decisions that only seek to maximize profits, without any consideration for the long-term effects of their actions, or how their actions will affect this country in the future.[/quote]

Um. I don’t think you have spent much time in Detroit. I grew up there and the UAW members that I was aware of weren’t really picky about who they blamed for their troubles. At that time (I left in 1990) you didn’t want to park your foreign car downtown very often, unless you liked getting it keyed. Convertible tops on foreign cars were routinely slashed. The UAW workers wanted jobs, and if they could have excluded every foreign car from the U.S., they would have, regardless of their ability/inability to supply a product of equal quality. And don’t get me started on the “job banks.” Ridiculous.
