“when she was raped, she didn’t go to the doctor even to be examined or tested for sexually transmitted infections because she thought insurance wasn’t going to cover something like that,”

Sounds like BS.

Perhaps you think my friend’s tragic story is rare. It’s not. One woman told us doctors believe she has endometriosis, but it can’t be proven without surgery, so the insurance hasn’t been willing to cover her medication. Recently, another friend of mine told me that she also has polycystic ovarian syndrome. She’s struggling to pay for her medication and is terrified to not have access to it. Due to the barriers erected by Georgetown’s policy, she hasn’t been reimbursed for her medication since last August. I sincerely pray that we don’t have to wait until she loses an ovary or is diagnosed with cancer before her needs and the needs of all of these women are taken seriously.

If she thinks life is bad when you elect to attend a religious school and challenge the belief system, just wait until the Gub'mint is the ONLY provider of health care (as Hillarycare advocated, you will NOT be able to pay cash, that would create a two-tiered system).

We are already seeing the penny pinchers tell us to STOP all of this cancer screening, "you just gonna die anyhow!"

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Georgetown has Mandatory Health Insurance (sounds like ObamaCare)
http://studentaffairs.georgetown.edu/insurance/letteraccept.html

Fall 2011-2012 Plan Year:

Term of Coverage: 8/15/2011 - 8/14/2012
Open Enrollment: 2nd week in July - September 15, 2011

$1,895 per student
$5,516 per student and spouse
$5,516 per student and child(ren)
$8,680 per student and family
___________________________
Students can waive out of this plan only with proof and submission of having comparable insurance levels -$100,000K per illness and $100,000K per injury
(this is what goes on in MA under RomneyCare, if you do not opt for your employers insurance they need a note that states you have insurance elsewhere)

The thing with college - now most students - up to 26yrs old - can still be under their parents policies - I’ve read where upwards of 2/3rds of students in the US are covered under their parents policies..

Fluke’s testimony was carefully crafted - notice she relays stories of “students” in their 30’s - to not have an argument that most are covered under parents. It also is deceptive because the college does offer to opt-out of their plan and students can buy other plans - I looked at over 20 plans for DC for a 30 year old female student - all of them under the $157/mo of the Georgetown plan cost - all of them presumable covering BCP’s and most likely hitting that 100K coverage standard.

There were so many ways to rip Fluke’s testimony apart - but by calling her a slut - when she never talked about herself in the testimony - killed a great opportunity to rip this whole thing apart.

Ugh

Exactly my point! The woman didn’t even bother to see if it was covered. The testimony is full of deceit and subterfuge.

Law school probably 4 years with another 3 or so of graduate school. If you read the testimony you would know she wasn’t talking about herself but several other women including a lesbian. I think she is including the annual office visits and pelvic exams as well.

Many of the women whose stories I’ve shared are Catholic women, so ours is not a war against the church.

Lesbian Catholic womyn who considered birth control to be a sacrament.

THIS POST IS MISLEADING!

Ms. Fluke-U did NOT testify before a congressional committee.

REPEAT.....Ms. Fluke-U did NOT testify before a congressional committee.

Cong. Issa refused her request to testify on the grounds she was NOT QUALIFIED to discuss the issue before the committee.

THE "HEARING" and her "TESTIMONY" was and is an elaborate hoax. It was leftist street theater....set up in some other location and mimicing a real hearing. It was perpetrated by Democrat activists and "actors" who were aided and abetted by Nancy Pelousy. Ms. Fluke-U was the star.

IT WAS A MOCK CONGRESSIONAL HEARING!

Folks are falling for this left and right.

To paraphrase a well-known verse......"Be not deceived, God and the American public will not be mocked; for whatever the deceitful Left sows, that it will also reap."

Still she writes her name as Fluke and the definition is:

fluke[3] n

1. (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Animals) any parasitic flatworm, such as the blood fluke and liver fluke, of the classes Monogenea and Digenea (formerly united in a single class Trematoda)

2. (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Zoology) another name for flounder2 [1]

[Old English flōc; related to Old Norse flōki flounder, Old Saxon flaka sole, Old High German flah smooth]

If she didn’t go to the doctor (or police) to be examined after being raped, she let a violent criminal walk. Much like Planned Parenthood does when they abort young teenage victims’ babies.

You know....

Georgetown is Pro-Choice!

They give students an option to waive out of their medical coverage and buy a comparable insurance elsewhere.

Medical Coverage IS Mandatory (hello ObamaCare)
Buying Insurance coverage from them Isn’t

They insist on ‘Premium” Insurance coverage for their students - the students can decide where to buy it from

Pro-Choice!

Oh yeah and just to add to my rant above: What guy is she screwing 2.05 times a day that is going to use a raincoat each and every time? No no no no, that’s not how it works. If some guy is screwing a girl that much eventually he is going to insist on doing it raw otherwise he will go out of his mind. At least that is my experience. Unless she is doing it with a bunch of guys? Which again would lead to it being very proper to call her a slut.

All your points are valid. I don’t listen to Rush so I don’t know what all he said. But, he botched this one.
i don’t know if he was given the full transcript or just a quick synopsis.

Someone with the know how needs to rip it apart. Hannity?? Get a doctor on his show to explain all the bs this woman is trying to foist on the masses.

I'd like to know how she can testify about her 32 year old gay friend who can't have kids since it his second hand info. And if the lack of the pill was really the cause of her problem, there would be a big fat lawsuit.

We know the $3000 cost is phoney.

We know that no one at Georgetown is struggling.

Who is supporting Ms. Fluke.

Was that really her borned name??

Why doesn’t she put on her big girl pants and have a heartfelt conversation with her “boyfriend” asking him to pay his “fair share”?

That is, if they are in a committed relationship and she is speaking honestly about this being an issue for her.

It’s an emotional appeal, alright, but she is an ATTENTION WHORE who is an advocate for a “reproductive justice” group.

It’s not about the sex, it’s about the publicity.

This has morphed into a distraction at a critical time. The idea that Obama called her is sooooo repulsive. He’s one sicko.

I know she did appear before a congressional hearing. I never said she did. Her testimony was videotaped. We all know it was a sham.

It doesn’t change the fact that she has had her words out there and that Rush by calling her a slut has brought even more attention to her. Thus, making it doubly important for people to know exactly what she is trying to do.
