Free stuff campaign strategy advances

  So admittedly this "free stuff" strategy isn't exactly the way the other stuff has, like by giving mortgages to underwater homeowners or rebates on duds like the Volt,but  it still fits within the paramaters of giving away "free stuff for everyone" as a way of buying votes.
  Today's free contraception from insurance companies command from POTUS is different, in that it's a stretch constitutionally to say that the POTUS has the right to command (as in rule) insurance companies to give it away free, even though he whined today that he wasn't being political and that only cynical people would suggest such a thing. He said, "Let me repeat," as if what he's ruling is something people might miss.
  We always wondered how insurance companies could afford to give away free insurance to 26 year olds on their parents' insurance policy.
  It becomes apparent, at this point, that ruining insurance companies is part of the goal, so they'll fold and everyone will have to turn to The Savior Government for insurance.
  This is BS.
  From NRO:
The fact that the insurance companies will be required to provide contraception “free of charge” apparently means that they will be required to shift the cost of contraception from the religious organizations to their non-religious organizations. But at the end of today’s fact sheet, the White House notes that in some cases covering contraception can reduce premiums. That means that if the insurance companies actually cost-shift the coverage of contraception to non-religious organizations, it might lower the insurance premiums of non-religious organizations and raise premiums for religious ones. Either way, this just piles a mess on top of a mess. Otherwise, as Yuval points out, today’s announcement changes nothing. 
  Some people can't seem to learn the lesson that nothing is free. 
  Even love/like has a cost. Costs are passed on until the system collapses. 
  Judas Priest. What else will be required to be given away as free.
  It'd be great to think that everything could be free but it's just not Utopia.
  Something's really, really wrong with the people who are arranging all this.
  We're flat busted broke and we continue to blow cash out the wazoo.
  Judas Priest.
