ABORTION IN HEALTHCARE

The Reid bill makes it very clear that abortions will not be paid through public funds:

...abortions for which the expenditure of Federal funds appropriated for the Department of Health and Human Services is not permitted, based on the law as in effect as of the date that is 6 months before the beginning of the plan year involved.

So there!!! It can't be more clear.

Okay so the weasels can change the law and some abortions might be covered.

They go on to make it even more restrictive. First, if any insurance companies decide to continue to provide health coverage ( which I consider very doubtful) through the Exchange, they must offer one policy which covers abortions. HOWEVER, if the policyholder qualifies for a hc credit or a hc cost-reduction, such credits/reductions may not be used to pay for the abortions. AND the amount of the premium for such policy pertaining to abortions must be determined and cannot be less than $1 per month per policy. That amount must be kept separate to be applied to the abortions.

Does anyone recall be told that SS funds would not be used for general operations...that they would be in a lock box?

Now for the next step...

Just imagine all this goes through and it's time to buy a policy. A person goes to the Exchange (or DMV or wherever we're supposed to go) and starts negotiating for their perfect policy. "And be sure to include the abortion clause. I definitely need that (ie. family history).

Or how about that Progressive Insurance girl making a pitch...

"And if you would like, for not less than a $1 a month, we can include the abortion clause. Would you be interested?"
