... Michelle Obama is proud of her country:
Lady Michelle Obama boasted at a campaign event in Omaha, Neb. on
Tuesday that "we made history" when the president's health care proposal was
enacted and the administration issued a regulation mandating that insurance
companies provide women with free contraceptives.
"Two years ago, we made history together by finally passing health
reform," said Mrs. Obama. "And because we passed this law, insurance
companies will now have to cover basic preventive care--things like prenatal
care, mammograms, contraception--at no extra cost."
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) finalized the "
preventive services" regulation in January and it will take effect for most
employers on Aug. 1. The regulation mandates that nearly all health
insurance plans in the United States must provide women with sterilizations
and all FDA-approved contraceptives (including those that can induce
abortions) without any fees or co-pay.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and many Catholic leaders in the
United States have voiced strong opposition to the mandate because they say
it would force Catholics--whose church teaches that sterilization,
contraception and abortion are wrong--to act against their consciences and
the teachings of their faith. In comments submitted to the Department of
Health and Human Services, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops called
the regulation an "unprecedented attack" on religious liberty and asked the
administration to rescind it in its entirety.
Making history by attacking religious liberty in an unprecedented way.
And boasting about it.
I call that radical.
She and her husband must be sent packing in November.
And for those who've lived in a cave, this is when Michelle was initially
proud of her country. |
