libertarians still be like "i don't understand what you agree to with a business license"

So... It's the law you have a problem with, not the act itself?

Thank you for yet another emotional argument.

Now how about some data?

I'll give you a hand... I know you struggle with anything that has numbers and is not in a tweet, so I will bold the highlights for you.

“For Republicans, being a woman is a preexisting condition!” This is the Democratic talking point of the week as Republicans work on trying to fix the mess of a health-care program created by Democrats. A typical example of this stupidity is this column by Slate’s Christina Cauterucci, who dutifully repeats the formula: “Read closely, the American Health Care Act, or Trumpcare, also reveals the basic theory that underlies the GOP’s entire legislative wishlist on health care: the idea that being a woman is a chronic medical condition and a liability.”

Her complaints are familiar: The Affordable Care Act enacted pricing rules that largely prohibited charging women higher health-insurance premiums than men, and the Republican plan would relax some of those restrictions, which probably would result in women’s paying higher premiums.

But nowhere in the piece does she consider the actual facts of the case: Women have radically higher lifetime medical expenses than men do, about one-third higher, on average.

According to “The Lifetime Distribution of Health Care Costs,” (published in Health Services Research and made available online by the National Institutes of Health) per-capita lifetime health-care expenditures for women run $361,200, or nearly $100,000 more than per-capita lifetime health-care expenditures for men.

The higher premiums charged to women are not rooted in the malice of wicked insurance executives but in the thing that our progressive friends claim to love: science — in this case, actuarial science. The argument for charging women higher premiums may not be persuasive to you, but it has some basis in reality. The argument against doing so has no obvious basis in anything other than preference.

We all support evidence-based medicine. Why not support evidence-based health insurance, too?

where did i say i had a problem with the law or the act?

i really don't give a **** about the whining of someone trying to claim that making a cake goes against their religious belief when i know Jesus hung out with hookers and what not and taught you to love everyone

but they got a business license that says they can't do what they did.

I agree with your first point completely and think you hit the nail on the head.

SCOTUS is going to decide on the second one.

I am sad this ended up in the Supreme Court, but oh well.
