Kimberly Morin You see, when Shaheen was Governor of New Hampshire, she decided she wanted to force ridiculous mandates onto health insurance companies. At the time the Granite State had many health insurance companies doing business and providing coverage to residents. Women could get all sorts of health insurance plans and they were affordable.
Once Shaheen put her mandates into place the majority of health insurers left the state; leaving women with few
Today Jeanne Shaheen decided that jobs & the economy (which have been an epic fail under Democrat rule) are far less important than birth control. She signed on to the following idiocy:
The Protect Women’s Health from Corporate Interference Act of 2014, introduced by U.S. Senators Patty Murray (D-WA) and Mark Udall (D-CO) and co-sponsored by Shaheen, would amend the Public Health Service Act to prevent employers from denying their employees or their employees’ dependents health coverage that is guaranteed to them under existing law. Under the legislation, employers, regardless of religious affiliation would not be allowed to deny their employees contraceptive coverage or any other specific health care item or service. The law also maintains the existing exemption for houses of worship and religious non-profits.
Since birth control is readily available and easily accessible across the country (taxpayers DO spend almost 1/2 BILLION on Planned Parenthood alone in this country) I think there are things that are much more necessary and much more difficult to get that I want Shaheen to DEMAND from my employers. The list is below:
The Scott Brown campaign released a video today talking about ‘Unity’ of the Party and how he’ll be an ‘Independent Voice’ for New Hampshire. Really? Like he was an Independent voice in Massachusetts when he voted with Obama and Democrats (and AGAINST his constituents) more often than not? Like when he voted for Dodd-Frank, crafted by far left wing lunatic Lizzie Warren who doesn’t know the first thing about the financial industry, and is probably the worst piece of legislation to hit the banking and finance industry in years. Dodd-Frank actually hurts”We, The People” more than anyone.
Are you going to believe Brown is an ‘Independent Voice’ when he voted for gun control in Massachusetts that hurt law-abiding citizens? How about his knee-jerk emotional reaction to the Sandy Hook tragedy when he said ‘assault rifles’ (no such thing) should be banned on the federal level? That’s not an ‘Independent Voice’, that is a voice of NO reason.
And what about Mitt Romney? Should people unify around a party that pushed a man to run for office after the Romneycare debacle?
You simply cannot make this stuff up. A Conservative blogger posted a photo of herself holding an AR-15 and a Bible while standing in front on an American Flag. Somehow SHE is an extremist according to the facebook page called ‘The Blue Street Journal‘. It should really be called the left wing lunatic journal but I digress.
The blogger is ‘Hashtag Holly‘ who has previously spoken out about Obamacare. The left doesn’t like it when anyone speaks against their messiah’s worst ‘achievement’ to date so they attacked her for that originally. She was also apparently vocal about the Supreme Court ruling regarding Hobby Lobby.
In her photo Holly is clearly making a statement about the 1st and 2nd Amendments. Only a complete and utter lunatic would think there is anything extreme about this photo or believe it has negative connotations, which is exactly what the knuckle-dragging twits at this page did.
Given the latest hysteria and lies over the Supreme Court ruling in the Hobby Lobby case, I searched high and low over the interwebs and discovered a video of Sandra ‘I can’t buy my own birth control’ Fluke from her childhood.
Not much has changed into her ‘adulthood’ only she doesn’t want golden eggs now, she wants thousands of dollars of birth control she apparently needs each year. And she doesn’t want her actual Daddy to pay for it, she wants Big Daddy Government or Big Daddy Employer to pay for it.
Somehow women of her ilk are so weak-minded and pathetic they cannot shell out the few dollars a month it costs to pay for their sexual proclivities. Sex is apparently their choice but purchasing birth control must be the responsibility of their employer or the government. These ‘adult women’ continue to act like petulant children.
Today the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that Hobby Lobby couldn’t be forced by the federal government (under Obamacare) to provide contraception that may cause an abortion. The case first came up back in 2012 when Hobby Lobby discovered they’d be forced to provide contraception to their employees that goes against their religious beliefs. They currently provide all other types of contraception but disagreed, due to their beliefs, in providing the abortive types.
The lies and hysteria of the left over Hobby Lobby have been previously debunked but that hasn’t stopped them from spewing them all over again. Governor Hassan, Senator Shaheen and Representative Carol Shea-Porter all repeated more lies. They continually insult women and treat them as if they are pea-brained flying monkeys who will simply believe anything they say and repeat it. Their statements are below:
Governor Maggie Hassan today issued the following statement after the United States Supreme Court’s ruling in the Hobby Lobby case:
Access to family planning services is critical for the health and economic security of women and families, as contraception costs are one of the biggest health care expenses for women and their families. While today’s Supreme Court decision is disappointing, I’m optimistic that employers will continue providing coverage for family planning services because it’s the right thing to do for workers, it will help businesses attract high-quality employees, and it will strengthen the economic security of working families.
Clearly Hassan did not read the case nor follow up on the
Last week I posted a blog about Governor Hassan treating innocent Granite Staters like drug abusers. It’s only fair to call out those GOP Senators who sponsored this ridiculous invasion of privacy as well. So here goes: Boutin, Stiles, Obamacare Odell (luckily he’s retiring but remember he’s pushing Democrat Donor Jerry ‘knows’ Little in District 8), Bradley, Carson, Larsen, D’Allesandro and ‘gas taxer’ Rausch (also thankfully retiring but backing Foley) along with Senator John Reagan (who sponsored the overreaching government hackery as a State Rep in 2012). All of these people should be ashamed of themselves.
This bill will do nothing to stop drug dealers or drug addicts who already break the law but has the potential to hurt innocent people. The fact that people’s personal health information is in a state database is egregious enough but they are assuming they all have the potential to be drug abusers or dealers.
On Wednesday, Governor Hassan touted a new program in New Hampshire that will collect personal information on certain prescription drug users and store it in a state-controlled database. The “Prescription Drug Monitoring Program” will be put into place in an attempt to control the behavior of the small percentage of Granite Staters who are drug addicts. Meanwhile, the personal and private healthcare data of law-abiding citizens will also be captured in this database. If you take certain drugs, Hassan thinks you may be a junky.
In yet another huge government overreach, which may actually violate HIPPAA laws, the Governor is pushing her failed left wing belief that she can somehow control the behavior of people. Make no mistake; she isn’t the only one who pushed this. It was apparently led by Republican Jeb Bradley a few years ago, passed in the Senate in 2012 and is now being put into action:
According to Senate District 8 Republican candidate Jerry Little’s FEC filings, the majority of his support appears to be from his fellow bankers outside of the Senate district. While it’s not really surprising since Little was a banking industry lobbyist for years, it shows how little support Little has from the grassroots inside of the district. You know, those regular every day people who want someone to represent them. Since Odell ceased representing them with his vote for Obamacare’s Medicaid Expansion (just to name one horrible vote), it’s interesting that Odell is backing yet another candidate who never represented the people and actually lobbied against the people and for the banks.
In an interview with Fox News, Hillary Clinton actually stood by lying liar Susan Rice’s comments regarding the (known immediately) terrorist attack on Benghazi occurring over a youtube video. The woman is clearly mentally incapacitated and not due to drugs but due to being a Democrat with no conscience. Video c/o video.foxnews.com Watch the … Read more
The Scott Brown campaign sent out an announcement that retiring Republican Bob Odell endorsed him today. Does anyone actually care? Bob Odell is the squishy Republican from District 8 in New Hampshire that voted for Obamacare’s Medicaid Expansion (which will bankrupt New Hampshire) and who is pushing banking lobbyist Jerry Little (a guy who is completely out-of-touch with Granite Staters) to replace him? Clearly the guy knew when to quit because otherwise he probably would have lost his primary to Jp Marzullo who is an actual common sense Conservative. Below is the full press release:
Senator Shaheen spoke today at the New Hampshire Progressive Summit in Henniker. Interesting that she still refuses to hold town halls with actual constituents but finds time in her schedule to speak to a room filled with left wing loons who want to turn the ‘Live Free or Die’ state into a Nanny State. All you have to do is read the descriptions for some of their workshops to see what type of event it is:
Mini-Workshop: “Not One More – What We All Can Do to Stem the Tide of Gun Violence” – This workshop is being run by the failed Mom’s Demand Action head Janet Groat of New Hampshire. Of course, the Granite State doesn’t have a gun violence problem but then again, the astroturfing group of paid Moms pimped by Mayor Bloomberg aren’t really about ending gun violence; they are about gun control of law-abiding citizens.

Regular readers know that we discuss health care related issues from time to time. Even though I believe that the winning the new world war is the first order of business for the president, I acknowledge that rising health-care costs are something almost as important for many people, including me. The dangers posed by a Democrat White … Read more

House Bill No. 282, which was introduced this month, says: Any food establishment to which this section applies shall not be allowed to serve food to any person who is obese, based on criteria prescribed by the State Department of Health after consultation with the Mississippi Council on Obesity Prevention and Management established under Section 41-101-1 or its successor. The State Department of Health shall prepare written materials that describe and explain the criteria for determining whether a person is obese, and shall provide those materials to all food establishments to which this section applies. A food establishment shall be entitled to rely on the criteria for obesity in those written materials when determining whether or not it is allowed to serve food to any person.
The proposal would allow health inspectors to yank the permit from any restaurant that "repeatedly" feeds extremely overweight customers.
