Colbert Mocks Fox for Criticizing ObamaCare Requiring Men Buy Maternity Coverage

‘Men will pay the same amount as women and yet we still don’t get to pass a cantaloupe with toe nails through our genitals’

COLBERT: "The big news continues to be the slow motion train wreck that is the rollout of the president's signature legislation the Affordable Care Act, or as most people call it, Barakocare. Everyone is getting screwed by the web site but the true victim of this health care disaster are America's most vulnerable, the men. When it comes to medical care, men always get the short end of the long end of the scope. You see, folks, up until now health insurance in America has always struck a delicate balance. Women paid higher premiums than men and in return men paid less. The system worked. But now folks, all that's changing."

REPORTER: "ObamaCare will have men and women paying the same amount for health care but since women live longer, and have babies shouldn't they pay more?"
HUGHES: "Under the new law they're including essential health benefits. And those essential health benefits include maternity, pediatric, dental and vision, contraceptive services and free birth-control pills none of which a young man needs or wants."

COLBERT: "Did you catch that? Under ObamaCare men will pay the same amount as women and yet we still don't get to pass a cantaloupe with toe nails through our genitals."
