And you thought it couldn’t get worse?
Faith-based colleges are the target of AB 314 (Richard Pan, D-Sacramento), which is tied to the implementation of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, more widely known as Obama Care.Was Pan's famly always members of the Democratic Party?
Pan’s bill mandates that all public and private colleges that offer self-funded health insurance must align with the Affordable Care Act, including providing birth control and abortifacients. The federal law, which offers no opt-out provisions for faith-based businesses or groups, has already prompted dozens of lawsuits across the country. Among those challenging the law are Biola University and Wheaton College. In addition to forcing private institutions to abandon their religious beliefs, the added coverage will increase costs for the colleges.
Did Asian-Americans get pulled into the Democratic Party early on, following the same pattern of immigrant groups being courted and recruited by that party? The Democrats appealing to the minority card and promising to protect their interests against those in power (i.e. white people), etc.
My AUS friend was trying to persuade me to find a job in Asia, possibly in teaching. She did think that it would be psychologically healthier for me to get out of here (and my current situation). She may know some of my reasons for not being not happy here in California. But she also thinks that I can return and get a job once the business cycle returns to good times. It was late so I didn't have much to say in response or to explain the case against her advice, though I did deny that the business cycle would go back to recovery.
