They kept the same cabinte members that we had under GW Bush. For example, Secretary of the Treasury, er, I mean Secretary of Goldman-Sachs is a hold-over. Mr. Obama is more interested in helping the bankers (banksters) than he is helping people who were placed in a position of need under the Fascist GW Bush regime. Can you say "we need a regime change?" And I don't mean a Republican/Tea Bagger either...

Not all women take contraceptives for birth control, thus, this could actually endanger their health. I worked at a religious college and was not denied this coverage back in the late 1990's. Why are we taking a step backward in health care for women? These are the same people who are also against abortion. Isn't it better to prevent an unplanned pregnancy than kill an unborn child? You can't talk out of both sides of your mouth. God helps those who help themselves, allow women to keep doing this!!

Everyone assumes when a woman requires birth control she is promiscuous. However, this is not a fact and could be further from the truth more than any other topic. Many women use birth control because of medical conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, POD(polycystic ovarian disease which is a risk factor ovarian cancer)and other conditons, some of which can endanger the health of a woman if she does get pregnant. SOme women suffer from PMDD which is completely differnt from PMS in that is more severe with headaches, heavy bleeding, extreme mood swings among other physical problems. Women deserve to have adequate care for anything they need. Birth control has often been found to help protect against breast cancer and fibrotcystic breast disease (in itself a risk factor for breast cancer) There should be no exemptions even in a religious organization with regard to birth control.

I am specifically referring to contraception for women, who happen to be employed by a religious organziataion. These organizations should have to meet generally accepted standards of care as they apply to women, in all aspects of medical care. No woman, child or man should have to receive substandard care with regard to reproduction because of "religious" considerations. If these organizations want the tax money and tax exemptions provided by the government for medical insurance as provided by an employer, then they should be required to meet the needs of their employees and not foster the idea that women have to accept substandard care because they are employed by a religious organization.

Unfortunately, most of the ones I have worked for. The bottom line is all that matters in this country - religious or not. I wonder how many employers will become religious to save a dollar.
