Yes, I agree. My point was mainly that 0bama gave the impression the “federal plan” would not pay for or subsidize abortions, and he had no intention of eliminating abortions from the deal. So he chose to answer in a way that allows him to waffle now, say that he never said they would not be covered, etc. He can say, well, they will be paid for by the fines to insurance companies... or some other BS that allows him to not pay for them out of federal income tax revenue dollars. My daughter needed some health care a couple weeks ago, and I mentally went through this checklist of her age, her condition, her ability to pay future taxes....her party alliance on her voter registration.... all things that will come into play in the future as to if and to what extent people will get treatment.

I think a lot of people, including clergy, have been dazzled and bamboozled with the promises of excellent health care for all. i have friends who think any kind of government run health care will be a good thing. When I mention the rationing of health care and the funding of abortions, they look at me like I’m nuts. I said to one last week that I hope she stays healthy. I’d hate for her to have to find out if she is diagnosed with a serious illness tha she won’t get the care she thinks she will. If this nonsense passes, the true believers are going to rue the day.
