Obama's Health Bill Might Direct Tax Money to Abortion
Health Bill Might Direct Tax Money to Abortion
An Obama administration official refused Sunday to rule out the possibility that federal tax money might be used to pay for abortions under proposed health care legislation.
Peter R. Orszag, the White House budget director, asked whether he was prepared to say that “no taxpayer money will go to pay for abortions,” answered: “I am not prepared to say explicitly that right now. It’s obviously a controversial issue, and it’s one of the questions that is playing out in this debate.”
Senator Judd Gregg, Republican of New Hampshire, who along with Mr. Orszag was asked about the issue on “Fox News Sunday,” said it had the potential to complicate the legislative battle over health care. “I would hate to see the health care debate go down over that issue,” Mr. Gregg said.
Abortion has been simmering behind the scenes as an issue in legislation to guarantee access to health insurance for all Americans. The debate affects not only the public health insurance plan that Democrats want to create, but also private insurers, who would receive tens of billions of dollars of federal subsidies to cover people with low and moderate incomes.
Under the House bill, for example, most insurers would have to provide an “essential benefits package” specified by the health and human services secretary, who would receive recommendations from a federal advisory committee. Opponents of abortion want Congress to prohibit inclusion of abortion in that benefits package, while advocates of abortion rights say the package should be left to medical professionals to determine.
In an analysis of the House bill, the National Right to Life Committee said that ordinary principles of administrative law could allow the Obama administration to determine what would be included in the benefits package.

I would expect this life hating Obama to put anything he can into his unhealthy bill just to do more damage to our civilization and our country. Death is what Obamacare is all about and you won’t have to be in the womb to be touched by it. The DemocRATS are the party of death. Obamacare is not about healthcare.

As long as the Eugenic's Champion Holdren is in charge of the Mengele Clinic, Federal dollars will be used to kill the 'Human Weeds'.
Problem, Who will determine who the Weeds are and where they are located.
From reading excerpts from the bill, Euthanasia seems to be next item on the list of Health Benefits paid for by the Government. In our case, Old people, wiil get the active kind of Euthanasia. When will they start building the 'Gas Chambers' for the old, feeble, disabled and infirmed.
It has to go this way, we have come full circle from Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness, to fullfilling Sangers dream of creating a master race. In this case, a Brown one. Limited to one maybe two children per home. Anything else is eliminated.

Looks like voter registration rolls will be a big part of the ACORN effort to identify adults to be put down, that and the census. There will be exceptions, muzzies will be allowed to breed like the blowflies they are.
