Overheard on BenefitsPro

I cannot believe that women of America are turning back to Obama when he is taking away our rights. I paid for my birth control because it was my freedom of choice not to have a child. I was not making a lot of money but was responsible for my own options and never even though of asking someone else to pay for my choice. The more the Government requires of Free Enterprise system to cover the individuals that do not want to take responsibility for their own life and their own choices in life, the more of our freedoms THEY WILL TAKE. The Constitution of the United States of America stated The People run the government not the government run the people. We should also start not to longer pay for the government employees in all levels of government's retirement or 100% of their benefit package. They should have to invest in their own 401k and Social Security.
