White House to Announce ‘Accommodation’ for Religious Organizations on Contraception Rule

75. Aren't you a bit far from your bridge? Aren't you missing a few tolls?

I think you missed two things that happened today.

One this policy is fixed and all women will get free birth control. This will add a huge number of families to the list of those that have already benefited from Obamacare. (Yes, I think we Democrats need to steal that and make it describe the incredible achievement it is.)

They will be added to seniors, who now see it did not destroy Medicare - and that it was the Repuublicans who scared them. They will see it closed a lot of the donut - where they had to pay thousands for their medicines.

Not to mention, it helped a huge number of us by adding our kids onto our policies until they reached 26 years old. I know that saved me thousands of dollars for my two oldest daughters' healthcare as they finish their masters. Think of how many families with health insurance were able to add their young adult kids - and how many know that they don't have to worry as their kids complete college.

The list could go on. 2012 will not be 2010. More people will have seen enough to see they are benefiting.

Not to mention, there was the bit of really good information in the NYT - when the federal government added free coverage, their total costs later declined - a study estimated a savings of 10%.


The only ones who will be unhappy are the Republicans - likely led by Santorum. Gee, Romney may flip again and ask for credit on Obamacare.
