The current health care bill in the house does require public money for elective abortion. Here are the links!

  • Health care reform should not be used as an opportunity to use federal
    funds to pay for elective abortions. Health reform should be an
    opportunity to protect human life - not end it.


    Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi’s 2,032-page government
    takeover of health care
    does just that.  On line 17, p. 110, section 222 under “Abortions for which Public Funding is
    Allowed” the Health and Human Services Secretary is given the authority to
    determine when abortion is allowed under the government-run plan. 
    The Speaker’s plan also requires that at least one insurance plan offered
    in the Exchange covers abortions.


    What is even more alarming is that a monthly abortion premium will be
    charged of all enrollees in the government-run plan.  It’s right
    there on line 16, page 96, section 213, under “Insurance Rating Rules.”  The
    premium will be paid into a U.S. Treasury account - and these federal
    funds will be used to pay for the abortion services
    .


    Section 213 describes the process in which the Health Benefits
    Commissioner is to assess the monthly premiums that will be used to pay
    for elective abortions under the government-run plan.  The
    Commissioner must charge at a minimum $1 per enrollee per month.
