OK, A little off the topic, but about abortion funding in the health care bill.

We know that the House version of the bill contains the Stupak amendment, which basically says that no government health care plan, and no money spent by the government, can be used for any abortion except to save the life of the mother.

Now, suppose the bill passes just like that. And suppose, as we all believe, this bill destroys private health care. So now all that is left is a government-sponsored health care plan, dictated by the House bill.

Doesn’t that mean that, under the new single-payer government health care, NO WOMEN will be able to get abortions, except to save the life of the mother? Or at least, they will have to pay out of pocket, since their insurance, being government-run, will be prohibited from paying for abortions?

Your too funny. What an assinine question. Canada has had FREE abortions for ALL under the single payer system for eons. No the women won’t be paying out of pocket for the “procedure”. I was only an RN but I worked in the medical system. The only thing I can say is that Canada is quickly moving away from the single payer system and allowing lots of private clinics for MRI’s, simple surgeries, lots of things. Single payer systems DO NOT WORK. They are terrible once the system becomes overloaded. America will be starting out overloaded. It’s PURE failure and worse. It’s actually total control. Don’t bother Obamabot to answer me back because you are just a troll. I know what I am talking about - you clearly don’t. So enjoy your tyranny!! CO
