Sebelius Is Asked Why Men Are Required To Purchase Maternity Coverage

This really sounds stupid! But to a Liberal its more money for Obamacare that a man pays for having a baby (I think)

Rep. Renee Ellmers questioned Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius about the mandatory maternity coverage that is part of ObamaCare.

Specifically, she wanted to know why a single male would need an insurance policy that covers maternity care. This is a question that makes sense to everyone with a pulse rate who isn’t a Washington bureaucrat.

Sebelius informed Ellmers that, why yes, men absolutely get maternity coverage because insurance plans offer a suite of covered services and that just happens to be one of them.

The problem with that line of thinking, of course, is the same problem that exists whenever governments attempt to control the economy. Logic simply dictates that men don’t need maternity coverage. But it must be covered, for the greater good. Or something.

Ellmers shot back to Sebelius that this is, in fact, why insurance premiums are going up for people. They’re required to buy plans that cover services they don’t need.

Sebelius, for her part, couldn’t leave bad enough alone. “The individual policies cover families,” she said. “Men often do need maternity coverage for their spouses and for their families. Yes.”

“Single male, aged 32, does not need maternity coverage,” Ellmers replied. “To the best of your knowledge, has a man ever delivered a baby?”

That got laughs from around the chamber.
