"What is even more alarming is that a monthly abortion premium will be charged of all enrollees in the government-run health plan. It’s right there beginning on line 11, page 122, section 1303, under “Actuarial Value of Optional Service Coverage.”" I had read this piece when I responded to the previous one. There are a lot of misses in it. Like the above bit. That's just not true. That section is about the abortion option. The premium will be charged to those who take the option. There's nothing in there about it applying to everyone. "Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) massive, 2,074-page bill would levy a new “abortion premium” fee on Americans in the government-run plan. " That's so misleading. Of course they're going to charge extra for abortion coverage for those who choose it. No scandal there. It would be a scandal only if they didn't charge extra for a feature that most people don't want and particularly if they charged participants who are anti-abortion for abortions. That's even worse than using public money for them. But that's not what the language says. I'm not going to go through it point by point. I'm not THAT "easy."
