On Wednesday, rightwinggranny reported that Pennsylvania will use taxpayer dollars to fund abortions under Obamacare. Yesterday, CNS News reported that Maryland will also pay for abortions with taxpayer money under the new healthcare reform act. As I am sure you remember, Americans were promised that taxpayer dollars would not fund abortions.
On March 24, CNN reported that President Obama had signed an executive order preventing the use of taxpayer dollars to fund abortions. The article states:
""While the legislation as written maintains current law, the executive order provides additional safeguards to ensure that the status quo is upheld and enforced, and that the health care legislation's restrictions against the public funding of abortions cannot be circumvented," the White House said previously."
I guess that executive order didn't really mean much. CNS News states:
"According to a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) fact sheet published by MHIP, its new Federal Plan will offer the same benefit package as its state-funded plans. "The MHIP Federal Plan offers the same benefit package as other MHIP plan options," that document states. All five of MHIP's plans cover abortion, including one plan that requires no co-pay if the abortion is performed at an out-patient abortion clinic, according information found on page 53 of the 2010 MHIP Certificate of Coverage."
The American people have been lied to. The healthcare reform bill not only pays for abortion with taxpayer money, there are many other surprises in it. Healthcare costs will go up, not down. Those of us who are happy with our current health insurance are very likely to be forced out of our current coverage by the healthcare reform act.
Remember this in November--elect a Congress that will REPEAL AND REPLACE!
