Dem's Nationalized Health Care Plan Still Requires a Monthly Abortion Fee

The Democrat’s nationalized health care bill will still require a monthly abortion fee.
The House Republican Leader reported today:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) latest health care “manager’s amendment” would STILL levy a new “abortion premium” fee on Americans under the Democrats’ health care plan. Just like the original 2,032-page, government-run health care plan from Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) and the last version of Senator Reid’s 2,074-page bill, this latest 383-page amendment levies an abortion premium and does not fix the problem of government funds being used to subsidize elective abortions.
Under Reid’s “manager’s amendment,” there is no prohibition on abortion coverage in federally subsidized plans participating in the Exchange. Instead the amendment includes layers of accounting gimmicks that demand that plans participating in the Exchange or the new government-run plan that will be managed by the Office of Personnel Management must establish “allocation accounts” when elective abortion is a covered benefit (p. 41). Everyone enrolled in these plans must pay a monthly abortion premium (p. 41, lines 5-8), and these funds will be used to pay for the elective abortion services. The Reid amendment directs insurance companies to assess the cost of elective abortion coverage (p. 43), and charge a minimum of $1 per enrollee per month (p. 43, lines 20-22).
In short, the Reid bill continues to defy the will of the American people and contradict longstanding federal policy by providing federal subsidies to private health plans that cover elective abortions.

I wonder why democrats fighting tooth and nail for the inclusion of abortion? Does Planned Parenthood is just a money laundering clearing house for democrats? Planned Parenthood made 1 billion dollar profit last year.
Just_Saying commented:
Every taxpayer of America will be funding abortion, then, and God’s judgment will be on us all.
Some of us may have to become tax-resistors, or leave Amerika…

Get educated people. Start right now. Educate yourselves on the people who will be running for a position in your area and state. Starting from school board to the top of your state. We have got to get rid of a lot of judges, school boards. professors, etc. Learn all you can about each person who is running. Keep the frauds/socialist OUT! Take America back!
Jim you can us help here in Missouri.

Did the poll have a spot to check for those of us that believe passing this bill is the worst thing to happen to health care and the general health of the country?

I read recently wherein the Catholic Church will have no qualms about closing all of they’re 600+ Catholic hospitals in the USA if they are forced into performing abortions. That will be a sizable number of beds no longer available and thousands of employees no longer employed.
I am not Catholic but i believe that they would indeed close the doors rather than perform abortions.
Anyone else have insight into this potential?

Well, the illegal alien amnesty, Acorn vote fraud, and the upcoming census fraud are where the Democrats intend to cement their permanent majority.
The only way to fight this is to throw all vulnerable Dems out of office and replace them with Republicans. Have to give the GOP credit–they held firm against this unconstitutional abomination.

“Catholic Church will have no qualms about closing all of they’re 600+ Catholic hospitals in the USA if they are forced…” that will be a major test of faith for the church. standing by
your convictions when everyone else is jumping ship. i tried to make the point to foolish relatives who thought it was just about choice
and couldn’t get beyond their bds to see the
bigger picture – which would effect them – of
losing medical personel and facilities.
