Asshole.
Another asshole republican demonstrates that he doesn’t he doesn’t know how insurance works...you see, asshole you don’t actually “pay for” women’s heath procedures anymore than you pay for my car when I’m sideswiped by a teapartier looking for garage sales. You health care premiums share the cost of preventative measures to help everyone to be healthier. Katy Perry doesn’t have testicles but her premiums help to pay your unlucky doctor when he feels you up looking in vain for your balls.
Got it?
As the House struggles to agree on a path forward on its bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act, GOP leaders may cave to a demand from hardline conservatives to scrap Obamacare's Essential Health Benefits rule—the mandate that insurance plans cover things like hospitalizations, prescription drugs, mental health and maternity care.
TPM asked Republicans on the other side of the Capitol about whether such a move would fly in the Senate.
Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS), when asked if he supports scrapping EHBs, deadpanned: "I sure don't want my mammogram benefits taken away."
Mammograms, however, are not part of Essential Health Benefits. They're mandated under a different section of Obamacare that requires insurance plans to cover women's preventative care.”
What a jerk.
