Daley’s Boy Blago, Fighting For Contracepive Fairness!
May 23, 2008 | | 8 Comments
I was browsing the official web-site of The State of Illinois (or Venezuala Junior, representing Daley’s and Blagojevich’s ideal Utopia) and I came across a site dedicated to contraceptives. The main page has a heart-warming letter from our illustrious governor regarding his emergency actions to make birth control more fair and to force insurance companies to pay for the choices of their clients. The letter from our CIC (Communist In Chief):
Dear Illinois Women:
It seems obvious to say that women should have the same access to affordable health care as men. But right now women pay an average of 68% more in out of pocket health care costs than men do because of the cost associated with reproductive healthcare. And recently, some pharmacists have been refusing to fill birth control prescriptions, making contraceptives even less accessible to women who need them. I am making sure that women, like men, have immediate access to more affordable health care.
Last year, we enacted legislation that requires all private insurance companies in Illinois to cover FDA-approved birth control devices and services. If insurance companies can cover Viagra for men, it’s only fair that they be required to cover birth control for women. Find out how we made contraceptives more affordable through your existing insurance.
Saving money on the cost of birth control is important, but only if you can get the prescription filled in the first place. You shouldn’t have to wonder whether your local pharmacy will fill your doctor’s prescription. That’s why I recently issued an emergency rule that orders every pharmacy in Illinois that sells contraceptives to accept and fill all birth control prescriptions. No delays. No hassles. No lecture. Just fill the prescription. Find out how we’re ensuring that contraceptives are immediately accessible.
Whether or not you use birth control should be your decision. With the changes we’ve made, once you have a prescription, now your private insurance must cover it and your pharmacy must fill it. With your help, we can continue to enforce the law to make sure that women across Illinois have the same access to affordable health care as men do.
Sincerely,
Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich
One of the links in the letter lead to a page which links to a pdf of the legislation. I wonder how hard it was for the wasters of Illinois taxpayer funds to restrain themselves from including abortion in the list of things a health insurance provider must cover. I suppose they are taking government usurpation one step at a time. On this pag, we learn more about the fight for fairness Daley’s boy undertook:
If insurance companies can cover Viagra for men, it’s only fair that they be required to cover birth control for women. That’s why Governor Blagojevich enacted legislation last year that requires all private insurance companies in Illinois to cover FDA-approved birth control devices and services. This new law requires private insurance to cover birth control pills, patches, implants, shots, IUDs, and diaphragms.
At least he didn’t pull an Obama and say he wanted to raise taxes and cut revenue to the government in an effort to punish success and ensure fairness. All Rod “Hair Helmet” Blagojevich is doing is saying that women need extra special help in the bedroom and the government is here to provide it! In typical libiot fashion, this jerk and his accomplices in our state government ignore one tiny detail, common sense! Common sense dictates that Viagra is not used solely by men and the litany of contraceptive devices they list for women are not used solely by women. In fact, Viagra is not used for contraception. Weird.
So, this exercise in government oppression is disguised as a means of providing equitable healthcare for women and our libiot state leadership is banking on the gullibility of the Illinois electorate. Common sense intrudes upon Rod’s charade when an objective observer pauses to think of the logistics of contraception. How, exactly, can a woman become impregnated absent a man? (Artificial insemination does not count because the woman is attempting to get pregnant and a man was involved at some point in the donation process.) The answer to the Final Jeopardy question is: “What is she can’t, Alex?” Shhh! Don’t tell MoRod that the act of conception involves both sexes and therefore his pandering to feminists on this issue is just that.
Here is a common sense suggestion for fairness in birth control costs: the loving couple decide for themselves how to purchase their (that is two people, man and woman) preferred device and who pays for it. That is unless that the adult citizens of Illinois believe that they cannot function without the direct interference of Daley’s puppet.

It’s hard to believe that in a Country like the Good Old USA, where more people have perfected the Art of Capitalism than anywhere else on Earth, that it’s gov’t entities would do everything in their power to kill the very thing that made them so Great.
Socialism=Slavery, Capitalism=Free Enterprise & Freedom. “Give me Capitalism or Give me Death.”
