Obama: No Woman's Health Should Depend On Who She Is Or Where She Works

President Obama at the White House said "no woman's health should depend on who she is, or where she works, or what her health is or how much money she makes. Period."

2. I can think of a way to make sure that's not an issue at all.

10. Make incremental PROGRESS towards single-payer?

3. But... but! He's JUST LIKE a Republican! I heard it on DU!

Honestly,he nailed it. With a large hammer.

4. How about "Nobody's health, period..."

[Fawke Em]

5. Well, that would be accurate of the Holy Bishops of Man

were actually threatening to take away access to Viagra or prostate exams, but since this argument has been completely about female plumbing, I think what Obama said is accurate.

17. Medicare For All would have smoothed that all bullshit out, no?

What reason would there be to not cover contraception then?

13. Anything to hate...huh? n/t

7. My health still depends on how much money I make, and that's not currently enough

to afford any medical insurance whatsoever.

SINGLE. PAYER. NOW.

9. I wonder if this doesn't reopen the medicare for all issue

If it doesn't matter where I work, why does it matter *if* I work at all. Why should health care be controlled by my employer in the first place?

I wonder if the GOP won't really regret picking up this standard?

Thoughts?

Why would anyone disagree with him here? Not attacking anyone, but curious.

18. Sounds like a compelling argument for single-payer "medicare- style" health care Mr. President.

You are correct, the size of one's wallet or where one works should never dictate the access of the health care that one needs whether man, woman or especially child (since they cannot control who's sperm and egg they came from).
