   My Apple computer needed a new battery. The guy at the genius bar toted up the price and said it will be $129 “plus $9 tax for the government”. I answered, “Well, I did drive on a road to get here.”

   The Rich aren’t like us. Most of what we think about and agonize about they don’t——it’s already paid for. No stress for them.

   I know you’re a liberal so apparently I’ll have to spell this out for you: most people DON’T pay for their own health insurance. Most of us receive it from our employers (or the government.) My portion of my health care payment is almost nothing. About $20 a week, give or take. My employer pays them a whole lot more than that. Wish I had a paycheck stub to give you the exact figures. And if your health insurance gives out "free: birth control, that means SOMEBODY has to pay more to cover that. If your employer is the Catholic Church – they pay more to cover you for something their teachings forbid. If it’s the government, then all of us taxpayers are subsidizing you.

   Well hold on to that job. My weekiy deduction for medical, dental and vision for myself only was around $120 a week. If i get laid off and have to keep coverage under COBRA it would be nearly $700 a month. As I am 62 and have several disqualifying pre-existing conditions, private insurance has not been a possibility in the past except as extremely expensive, high deductible piss poor coverage.

    The ‘free’ contraceptives are available at a PP clinic near you. Actually, the run about $9 per month. Interesting that a 30-yr-old college graduate and law student couldn’t manage to find such a clinic in the Yellow Pages. So, she’s either dumber than dirt (don’t put her in as a research analyst!), or she is a scammer.

    Republicans, quick, make it illegal for anyone who uses contraception to vote. And require tests for the use of birth control on all women voters.
