Birth control is not a health problem.  Why is this even being covered by health insurance? Its just his way taking the heat off of him without aggravating Planned Parenthood, and other feminist groups.  With Obama, the ends justify the means.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To answer your question, Tony, its just Obama&#8217;s way of placating Catholics and other religious people by shifting the burden and making insurance companies offer this for free.

In our dental office the are asking the doctors to reduce their fees by 35% or more. As David Urban says, that means buying cheaper products which means poor quality for the patient.  It could also mean reducing the staff because the doctor&#039;s overhead has become to great.  That contributes to the unemployment rate.  That doesn&#039;t sound like a good idea.  No one wants to take a cut in pay or reduce their staff.  Metlife is not willing to negotiate.  What happened to making sure our military families have great care?  It&#039;s quite obvious the government doesn&#039;t care.  I don&#039;t think they would be crazy about having their pay cut by 35% or more.  Especially since they vote themselves a pay raise every year!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those of you who think that Metlife is so great you must not be getting the full story.
