''We rejected Hillarycare in the 1990s. We must again reject the latest liberal invasion of marriage and look to "Marriage Values" policies provably beneficial to everyone – especially women and children.''
Feminists have
exercised nearly unfettered control of Congress' social policy philosophy since the creation of the Great Society. That arrangement, designed to help a few women in trouble, evolved into an industry executing the feminist goal of destroying marriage. The ever-escalating demands to entitle non-marriage and out-of-wedlock procreation never end.
Welfare-state expansions have eviscerated the function of marriage. Marriage naturally guarantees women the economic support and domestic assistance of their husbands. The feminist Oleanna is truly a nightmare burdening women with "doing it all" – earning a living, raising the children, doing the laundry and everything else around the household.
Welfare-state expansions brought on an explosion of divorce and illegitimacy only justifying another round of welfare-state expansions. Today, the welfare state costs approximately $1 trillion annually, nearly the size of the projected federal deficit, with no end in sight.
Democrats now hope to double the size of the welfare state by adding health care to their long list of entitlements. Feminists hope to expand the destruction of marriage by dragging the medical profession, businesses and taxpayers into the grandest expansion the Great Society has ever proposed.
National health-care reform is a Trojan horse guaranteed to strongly incentivize non-marriage, particularly in the middle class. According to the Center for American Progress, 24.5 percent of unmarried women lack health insurance. Only 14.7 percent of married women lack coverage. Surprisingly, poor unmarried women are more likely to have coverage than their married counterparts due to government assistance programs.
The National Center for Health Statistics reports unmarried women aged 25–64 are about 60 percent more likely than married women to lack health insurance coverage. The NCHS message is unmistakable: "Marriage affects health insurance coverage. As marriage rates in the United States decline, fewer women will have the opportunity to obtain health insurance coverage through their spouse. Marriage can also increase family income and may make health insurance more affordable." http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=115132
