The Obama/Sebelius Health Care Reform Insidious Abortion Mandate

It might just be me, but it looks like the Senate Bill has created a Federal Abortion Surcharge/Tax, merely disguised as an insurance premium. The Abortion Services fee is mandated for all Insurance Plan's offering "Abortion Services". If your employer selects a plan offering "Abortion Services", YOU will be paying to kill babies. If you are a person who believes in the sanctity of all life, Atheist, Catholic, pro-life Christian, buddhist, etc., this will be a violation, a mandate against your beliefs. And this legislation creates an accounting nightmare, which requires separate accounts for "Abortion Services" as well as premium payments, for your healthcare.

The Senate Bill, passed on December 24, 2009, requires/mandates (this will be the law) that private insurers charge a fee of, at a minimum, $1 per enrollee per month, to be set aside for "Abortion Services" (the actual "Fee"... yet to be determined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, who said... "don't worry women's reproductive services [abortion] is covered by Obamacare"). When Obamacare is made law, "Abortion Services" must be covered by private insurance. This means that everyone covered by the "plan" must pay the "Abortion Services Fee". If you have a family with children, their enrollment in the plan requires you to pay the fee for yourself, your spouse, and your children, regardless of age. Your baby, your 5 year old, etc., will be paying for abortions, through your plan. Will Medicaid providers be required to pay this "Fee"? If so your 95 year old GrandPa, who will never need this service, will be paying as well. Will any of these payers require an abortion? I think not. Should a person be required to pay for something they did not purchase? NO!!! This is a tax! This is un-American!

Additionally, the "Abortion Services Fee" must be paid separately from the rest of the premium payment, into separate accounts (to fund the murder of our most precious assets, our children) for (B)(i) and (B)(ii) funding requirements (sounds like a tax to me). The fee will be determined by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. (Section 1303. Special Rules Pages 2069-2078), blah, blah, blah...

‘‘(i) collect from each enrollee in the plan (without regard to the enrollee’s age, sex, or family status) a separate payment for each of the following:

‘‘(I) an amount equal to the portion of the premium to be paid directly by the enrollee for coverage under the plan of services other than services de- scribed in paragraph (1)(B)(i) (after reduction for credits and cost- sharing reductions described in subparagraph (A)); and

‘‘(II) an amount equal to the actuarial value of the coverage of services described in paragraph (1)(B)(i), and

‘‘(ii) shall deposit all such separate payments into separate allocation accounts as provided in subparagraph (C).

In the case of an enrollee whose premium for coverage under the plan is paid through employee payroll deposit, the separate payments required under this subparagraph shall each be paid by a separate deposit.

Does any one really read this legislation? Nancy Pelosi was quoted today, 3/10/2010, "We need to Pass this bill to see what is in it". This terrifies me and should terrify you!!! My own Representative (Democrat Ed Perlmutter CO-7, who voted for Stimulus, Cap and Tax, and the Health Care Bill passed previously by the House of Representatives), admitted on the floor during the arguments before approving the Stimulus Bill, that "he did not need to read the bill before voting, because he was told what was in it". Is this the representation you expect when you pull the lever in your voting booth?

It is an irony, that the legislation has a section requiring "(B) USE OF PLAIN LANGUAGE.—The information required to be submitted under subparagraph (A) shall be provided in plain language...." Maybe 'we the people' should require that all legislation be required to meet the 'Use of Plain Language' requirement. (page 2080 line 8)

Call your "Representatives"(Congressmen/women and Senators) and demand that they vote no on the health care reform bill, so that they do not make you fund the murder of innocents! Demand that they start over and create a realistic bill that moves incrementally and does not allow the Government to take over and destroy the best health care system on this earth!
