This Nice Wackjob Christianist Lady Mighta Just Outlawed Every Abortion In Ohio

Via Wonkette

Here is a nice lady, Janet Porter. She lives in Ohio, and she thinks gay people are going to have Christians put in jail and that they also cause hurricanes — the gays are very powerful in Cincinnati! But nearest and dearest to her warm heart is her “Heartbeat bill,” which outlaws abortion once a fetal heartbeat can be detected. So if you don’t want your doctor to face a year in prison for performing a medical procedure that the United States Supreme Court ruled was constitutionally protected, you better get your ass to the clinic within a week of missing your (surely extremely regular) period, because fetal heartbeats are detectable within six weeks of the first day of your last rag!

Excerpt from Huff Post

Insurers to GOP: Here's what to do after Obamacare repeal

"AHIP released five pages of talking points on what insurers want in order to stay in the individual market exchanges in 2017 and 2018, while lawmakers hammer out an Obamacare replacement plan. It also lays out what the industry wants for 2019 and beyond, as well as its priorities for Medicaid and Medicare.
Some issues have been on insurers' list before. Facing sicker-than-expected customers and millions of dollars in losses in the Obamacare exchanges, insurers want lawmakers to continue and expand risk payments that offset the cost of caring for ill enrollees.
