    I didn't.

    Do you understand the definition of "guess" and my reference to throwing a dart?

    Doesn't that indicate to you that this is a pretty loose number?

    Again, I gave you a figure. What do you think the cost would be?
    You gave a figure based on nothing.

    I'm not going to pretend I know enough to make a guess.

    OK, just this simple question.

    Do you agree or disagree that such a mandate would raise the cost of their insurance.

    He'll get more back, but these are some big fish that are getting away. Pretty bad (for him). Next thing you know Peter Gabriel will pull Sledgehammer.

    I concur. Rush won't be hurt by this at all when all is said and done. The guy has a very loyal following and he is a genius, plain and simple.

    I see no "but" about it.

    Agreed. I'll bet half or more of these sponsors are using this as an excuse for a decision they were going to make anyway. Besides, how many sponsors remain the same place year after year? They come and go regularly. How many, like Capital One is being hurt by regulation. There is also a new commercial using the same pirate voice capitol One used, probably hurting their business. There was a recent report where they checked on quality of flowered delivered on valentines day. If I recall, Pro Flowers did poor in that study, and likely lost business afterwards.

    For those who care:

    Maternity is covered under the plan at Georgetown. There are 3 schedules, but all students are covered under all 3 schedules. Schedule 1 is at the student health clinic, 2 is PPO, 3 is out-of-network. Maternity is specifically listed as covered like any other illness, except of course at schedule 1 where there is no maternity care at that clinic.

    "If a Covered Person is pregnant, We will pay for any Medically Necessary expenses for prenatal care, childbirth and postpartum care. Expenses for childbirth include hospital inpatient care of not less than 48 hours following a vaginal delivery or not less than 96 hours following a cesarean section, unless the attending Physician, in consultation with the mother makes a decision for an earlier discharge from the hospital."


    Prescription drug plan works the same way, with it not being applicable to schedule 1:

    "Prescriptions must be filled at a UnitedHealthcare Network Pharmacy.
    $10 copay for up to 31 day supply of a Tier 1 prescription;
    $25 copay up to 31 day supply of a Tier 2 prescription;
    or $45 copay up to 31 day supply of a Tier 3 prescription."

    I would think they simply want it covered like any other prescription.

    Why can't people just step up to the plate and admit that there is a double standard on this controversy? If Rush Limbaugh has to be get the axe then Bill Maher has to get the axe. It has to be the same for both otherwise the double standard is still there.
    Rush Limbaugh said a called a person a . Bill Maher called a woman the c-word. Can you even say the c-word on network tv or basic cable or even in a PG-13 rated movie?

    Stop the bull and admit the truth. There is a double standard.

    mmmm

    More than 30 advertisers have bailed out of the nationally syndicated talk show, ranked No. 1, since Limbaugh insulted student Sandra Fluke last week, then apologized Monday.

    The new tech-sector withdrawals join Carbonite (Nasdaq: CARB), the developer of PC backup systems; software management provider Citrix Systems (Nasdaq: CTXS) and online service provider AOL (NYSE: AOL).

    Shares of all the tech-related companies that withdrew rose Wednesday, except for Citrix.
    Once publicly traded, Clear Channel was taken private in a $20.6 billion buyout in 2008 led by Bain Capital and Thomas H. Lee Partners, two giants of the private equity sector. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is the co-founder of Bain Capital and still receives funds from the company, although he doesn't participate in management.

    Limbaugh, 61, has not endorsed a Republican contender yet, although he has frequently had Romney rival Newt Gingrich on his show for interviews.

    Limbaugh has long boasted of his affection for technology, especially Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) products. He has complained on the air that while he exclusively uses Macs, the Cupertino, Calif. company has never advertised on his program.

    Barrack for one and he has every right to. Good news is Rush apologized and those who can't forgive are only hurting themselves.
