"Unlike the Hyde Amendment—which allows states to use their own money to finance abortions—private insurers would not be able to use private premiums to finance abortions if there is even one person in the plan who used a government subsidy to pay a share of their premium."


Sorry, but that's not accurate and NPR clears that up.

"Because approximately 86 percent of exchange participants will rely on some government assistance to purchase health insurance, it is unlikely that private insurers will try to offer abortion services in their plans. Insurers would be allowed to sell abortion-only insurance riders in the exchange, but, again, it is unlikely they will do so. There is no data that any insurance companies sell such riders in the five states where abortion coverage is required to be sold in this manner"

According to the Hyde Amendment no Federal Funds can go to abortion. :rolleyes: Government assistance is Federal Funds. :rolleyes:

"Current restrictions on federal spending for abortion services in government programs would not change. It is possible that government payments to employer-sponsored insurance plans outside the exchange might carry the Stupak restrictions.'

Sorry, but that's not accurate and NPR clears that up.

Nope.......Stupak is trying to push PAST the Hyde Amendment.

The Stupak Amendment is meeting the requirement of the Hyde Amendment. :rolleyes:

The Hyde amendment is the law of the land. If the Stupak amendment didn't impose more restrictions than HYDE, it wouldn't be necessary.

As we already discussed...the language is put into appropriate bills. The language is in 8 other bills. Rep. Stupak has agreed to support the language that is in 8 other bills already signed into law. The Stupak Amendment upholds the Hyde Amendment.:rolleyes:
