In 2009, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius stated, "Whether you're male or female, whether you're 75 or 25, you would all set aside a portion of your premium that ... would be a separate [abortion] account that everyone in the exchange would pay... It is a bit confusing, but it's really an accounting that would apply across the board and not just to women, and certainly not just to women who want to choose abortion coverage." The final rules, just issued by the administration, require the enrollee to make two payments: $1 per month for abortion and another payment for the rest of the services covered. As described in the rule, the surcharge can only be disclosed to the enrollee at the time of enrollment. Furthermore, insurance plans may only advertise the total cost of the premiums without disclosing that enrollees will be charged a $1 per month fee to directly subsidize abortions. We were told O-care would respect the rights of the unborn and the religious liberty of pro-life citizens who object to having their tax dollars used to fund abortion. Anyone who believed that must now admit that this is just another mandate forcing people to fund abortion over their objections. "OUTRAGEOUS!" you exclaim. "What can I do to stop this?" you ask. "NOTHING" is the answer. Nothing, that is, except defeat Obama in November. Once the Republicans nominate their candidate, every one of us must do all we can to support that nominee. That is imperative! Anne |
