From last night's Countdown:

trying (and not succeeding) to avoid the insurance coverage for Viagra but not for BCPs controversy.

"Just let me check with my spin doctors first, to find out what I'm supposed to say here, because my own thoughts ... well, uh, I don't seem to have any."



And how interesting that he "hasn't thought much about" the issue, yet he voted against it. Wonder how many other things he's voted on that he hasn't given any real thought to?

Second thread on the same topic in two days. So I'll just paste the same response:

My bad. I looked all over for a thread on this before staring my own, but in the thousands of Obama-bashing threads, I must have missed it.

Right. If it didn't happen to anyone I know, it can't possibly be worthy of discussion.

Health insurance companies don't cover various meds based on the number of other similar meds out there. They base it on WHAT the med does, and whether the individual actually NEEDS that med to avoid/treat an illness.

There are numerous health-related reasons a doctor would prescribe BCPs that have nothing whatever to do with preventing pregnancy. There is only ONE reason a doctor would prescribe Viagra - to make an impotent man's floppy penis stiff (which isn't a health issue; it's an ego issue).

Firstly, John McCain is not the president (and at the rate he's going, he never will be). Secondly, the issue of whether insurance companies should be required to cover BCPs came up in congress. McCain voted AGAINST it. (But I'll bet you my left breast he pops one of those little blue pills before hopping into the sack with his ice-queen wife.)

But beyond the ED/BCP issue, don't you find McCain's inability/refusal to respond even a little bit troubling? He doesn't know how he voted on the matter, and even when he's been told his position, he still refuses to discuss it.

Hm.

He doesn't remember much, or it could be described as a Senior moment. Why anyone would vote for someone who has repeated senior moments is beyond me. My issue is... regardless of whether or not you can remember your vote on an issue... why don't you know your opinion on it? You shouldn't have to look in the archives to know how & why you voted on something. All you have to do is give me an issue and I'll tell you how I feel about it. Anyone, especially one thought to be a serious Presidential Candidate can do this. John McCain, IMO, simply realized that "yes I voted against it" would hurt... since it was recorded (and not behind the safety of congressional voting doors).

He knows his position... or he's retarded.

Both are bad.

U can't even compare BO, the HO's flip flops with any McCain has had.

This thread is ridiculous.

that's it! Yes! Avoid the important topic of "Insurance companies cover Viagra, but not birth control methods" because it doesn't help your stance! Aren't you a woman Raeka? I'll spell it out.

Viagra: not a health issue... being covered by "health" insurance agencies... without covering a "health-related" method like birth control.

A.O.K. with you?

Can I attribute the following neg rep to you, Raeka dear?

What a brilliant thinker we have on our hands!

so he didn't know how to answer a really stupid question.

No problem I know there are tons of anti-Obama threads, it could have been easily overlooked.

It's just not worth it because it's a non-issue in deciding who should be POTUS IMHO.

Right-o, but no matter what insurance company you go to, they're going to cover some variety of birth control, not all but some. ED meds don't have as many options so many of the name brands are covered.

Indeed, and many of them are covered, but maybe not the specific brand that your wanting to take.

It actually is a health issue called ED. You clearly aren't a doctor, so you deciding what is and isn't a medical condition is worthless.



Firstly, I hope he isn't.
Maybe because he believes it isn't for the Feds to decide what is and isn't covered by private insurers, don't really know what his perspective is though, this is just mine.

Lol, your probably right.

Yup, but I don't like him anyway so.....

[/quote]Very mature, but based on your instant need to escalate this into e-shouting, the childishness doesn't really surprise me.
