Insanity becoming the norm......

I have withheld posting for 3 months while the republican primaries narrowed the choices for a candidate. While watching this something happened, The rest of the republican party lost it's mind!  Today the U.S. senate rather than working on fixing our economy voted on the Blunt Amendment. This ws a bill that would allow any employer or insurance company the right to deny ANY type of coverage to any individual based on the employer or insurance companies religious beliefs. That means that if you are diagnosed with cancer and your insurance company has a moral objection to chemotherapy you are out of luck. It means if you break your leg and your employer feels that pain medication is morally wrong you would be denied coverage of your medication. This is pure, unadulterated, INSANITY!! When you pay for health insurance you expect to get what you pay for. This bill would do little more than give insurance companies free reign to deny any type of expensive procedure or medication simply because of a moral objection. In addition the very same republican party want government to grow to the largest and most intrusive it has ever been as in Virginia a bill is set to pass and be signed that will require an invasive ultrasound by transvaginal probe, before a woman can have a legal abortion. The test would be done whether the woman or her doctor feels it is necessary and would NOT be covered by insurance as it is almost never a medical necessity. I have made it VERY clear that I am not a democrat but an independent, however watching the republican party these past 90 days is making me think it might be time to register as a Democrat to save American freedom and the free market.
