Abortion Fee Returns in Senate Health Bill
Rep. John J. Duncan, Jr. says:
I do not think anyone who opposes abortion should be forced to pay for them through their tax dollars. It has been the long-standing policy of this Nation not to use federal money to pay for abortions.
Just like the original 2,032-page, government-run health care plan from Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) massive, 2,074-page bill would levy a new “abortion premium” fee on Americans in the government-run plan.
Beginning on line 7, p. 118, section 1303 under “Voluntary Choice of Coverage of Abortion Services” the Health and Human Services Secretary is given the authority to determine when abortion is allowed under the government-run health plan. Leader Reid’s plan also requires that at least one insurance plan offered in the Exchange covers abortions (line 13, p. 120).
