Also, where is contraception in these health care bills?, October 31, 2009
Today, the battle rages over the
Stupak Amendment, November 7, 2009
.....
The decision could be that insurance companies who offer plans covering abortion on the exchange would be allowed to turn down customers using affordability tax credits. This would create a dangerous loophole for the new guaranteed issue rule. This could lead to the ghettoizing of the health insurance exchange. Insurers would know that offering plans that cover abortion would prevent low income Americans from being able to sign up. Low income Americans tend to have higher medical costs and are less profitable, less desirable customers. Offering abortion coverage would be a simple way for an insurance company to keep them out of their risk pool. Since the exchange has dangerously weak risk adjustment mechanisms, this Stupak Amendment could become a profitable tool used by insurers to discriminate against low income Americans.

Nice that Bart Stupak, a member of
The Family cult that hangs out in the House on C Street is pushing amendments to discriminate against more than 50% of the population of the U. S.
Uh, Mr. Stupak?
Women are NOT a special interest group. Just yesterday, a
brave policewoman named Kim Munley stopped a mass murderer at the largest U. S. military base in the world.
How can these men pushing these regressive policies face themselves in the mirror every morning?
