Women suing McKenna over federal health care law

http://www.komonews.com/news/local/W...150044325.html

SEATTLE (AP) — Dozens of women on Thursday filed a lawsuit against Attorney General Rob McKenna, alleging that his participation in legal action seeking to overturn the new federal health care law threatens access to comprehensive coverage for women.

The politically charged lawsuit is seeking a ruling that McKenna violated his ethical duties by asking the Supreme Court to invalidate protections for women's health care. It claims that his actions go against the wishes of his clients, the residents of Washington state.

As of Thursday morning, 90 women had signed on as plaintiffs in the case.

McKenna, a GOP candidate for governor, joined other GOP attorneys general in the federal health care lawsuit more than a year ago. He objected to a provision that required people to buy private health insurance or face a fine.

He said that mandate was unconstitutional, though he supported other parts of the federal overhaul. The new lawsuit targets his efforts to overturn the whole law — not just the part he disagrees with.

The women say they want to force McKenna to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to maintain women's health care requirements, no matter how justices rule on the individual mandate.

Politically motivated lawsuit, considering this issue is already under deliberation by the USSC.


But what really gets me is the entitlement mentality.

Mackey appeared offended by the suggestion that the timing of the lawsuit was politically motivated.

"I didn't get cancer for political reasons," said Mackey, who is still receiving treatment. "I just haven't done 20 months of treatment for a governor's race. I want to be treated fairly, and I want to be taken care of and that's what I deserve. I don't care who's governor."

sigh.

They're not really liberals—they're illiberals. Their entitlement mentality is the seed for making America socialist, but they'll deny it forever.

Her first name wouldn't be Julia, by any chance?

Probably. All I know is, she had cancer, and as tragic as that is and I feel bad that she does (well, not really, cuz I don't know her but you're supposed to say stuff like that so...) but she's now using that as a political club to bash people with, then on top of that she demands to "be taken care of" because "she deserves it", and frankly I really get irritated by that shit.

I don't know exactly what Melissa Mackey meant, but anytime someone claims they "deserve" something that is inherently someone else's, it sends up a red flag in my mind. The idea I see lacking in so many people's argument today with regards to health care and health insurance is that people are still free to...you know...pay for their own medical care. I know that's a crazy concept - paying for goods and services that you use - but seriously? .

I'm not interested in letting people die but I have no qualms about having them front a significant share of the costs if they have no health care

I think she's right. When I was going through my cancer stuff, it would have been much nicer if you had helped to take care of me. I think I deserved it too.

How long is Obama or Romney planning on being the prez?

[Claremonster]

Well, apparently Obama is prez for at least 64 years, according to Julia's timeline

This nation will only be good as it's laziest person. It's why this country is going down the tubes. We need a cultural shift and better parenting to stop raising all these entitled kids.
