1. So if this is paying for sex, isn't he legalizing prostitution?

That's my round-about way of thinking about this.

[Triana]

2. Seems like it. n/t

3. How about a surcharge for anyone who can't pass a PE test? Oh, that's the system we have now. If

you have a pre-existing condition, no insurance for you.

4. Well, god forbid we insure sick people,

there's no profit in that.


My family falls into the pre-existing condition category. Waiting and hoping, but assuming I'm going to disappointed as usual.

5. He wants to attach this to a bill he has proposed

to have a camera in every bedroom in America so he can personally see if people are using "protection" :rofl:

6. But I thought Republicans were against protection. They want

abstinence only. Shame on him.

:evilgrin:

7. And how does he intend on enforcing this surcharge??

Prevert!

10. Explain enforcement of an agreement to not cheat on one's spouse.

Is an agreement to not cheat on one's spouse perverted?

8. So a couple trying to have kids would pay more? Well, that might help limit the population.

But how would the healthplan know to charge more for copulation?

9. I bet we could make a bundle just off drunken Congressmen.

11. This is a Stephen Colbert interview just waiting to happen
