An employee who works 40 hours a week in exchange for a pay check and a healthcare plan is paying for her insurance with her labor. Why should her employer's "personal choices" have anything to do with what it covers? Hobby Lobby isn't making a personal choice. Corporations don't take birth control, PEOPLE DO. The personal choice is to take it or not to take it. Limiting access for others is not a personal choice.
The spying is not so much about national security - that's why we have 16 other spying agencies. The NSA spying is a service intended to control the citizens, just as Orwell had predicted. For example: getting a job with a decent salary may become hard to get if/when corporations can find about one's secrets which they WILL use to play to win the hiring game. The policing agencies, the ultimate steroid-driven alpha bros, will use your secrets to spy on those around you, then, of course, to betray you. And on, ad infinitum.
That's why Mr. Snowden is a hero of epic proportions. The attacks on American soil will stop when the US will remove its 1000+ miitary bases, end its inept meddling in the affairs of others, return the troops home and have them learn to defend the American soil from the home base.

I was charged $95 by Loyola University Medical Center, outpatient clinic in Oakbrook Terrace, IL to sit in an exam room and talk to the doctor!!!!!! I didn't even sit on the exam table! The doctor billed me for his time which I have no problem with however $95 to sit down!!!
When I called to question the charge I was told it was for the use of the room and the supplies in the room. I told billing that all I did was sit in the chair and talk to the DR. their only response was "you should have gotten a letter we sent to patients last September,2013 telling you we were going to start charging for this!"
Next they will be billing to sit in the waiting room!!!
I THINK A CHARGE LIKE THIS IS MORALLY WRONG AND AMOUNTS TO NOTHING MORE THAT ROBBERY!
LOYOLA SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES!
