I was banned from the /women reddit for pointing out that the health care bill is about health care for all (even men) and that people's health actually includes a range of conditions and not just providing abortion. Yup, what a monster...

You're not banned in r/women. I just checked. Your name isn't on the list, and there's no voting post on it in the private sub.

Your comment was unpopular, yes, but let's refrain from making baseless assumptions, please.

EDIT: Better wording.

What pisses me off is the health care bill is VERY pro-woman. There are entire sections for women's care with no equivalent men's care. Not only that, but women and men cannot be charged differently!

Now, all I hear about is bitching about not getting free abortions (by the way, rape victims are still covered). Damn, you give almost all the cookies in the jar away and they will cry just as hard as if you never gave them cookies at all.

I live in Australia where we have free healthcare for many things. I walk past free medical centres all the time. The waiting rooms are mostly full of female patients. My stepmother is a doctor in a free clinic. She says she believes about half of her patients have nothing wrong with them. When pressed, she admits those are mostly women.

I think generally free healthcare is a good thing. But I'm also beginning to think it's just another way to transfer money from men to women.

Hello. That's not all you did. You said people who want no compromise on getting rid of the Stupack Amendment should be charged with extortion and/or terrorism. That's not going to win you fans no matter where you said it.
