"The Incredibly Long Arms Of The Stupak Amendment; Your Large Employer Insurance Plan Is Not Safe"
It's bad enough that our government has seen fit to deny equal treatment of those who would avail themselves of a perfectly legal medical procedure. Now, this Stupid amendment threatens to derail health care reform as it would reach out and imperil existing private insurance coverage. Those who would deny free choice are disrupting the reform process by injecting their anti-abortion agenda into the mix.
I wonder about health insurance that would cover abortions. I'm sure that it is more complicated than I think, but perhaps an insurance company could profitably issue policies just for a possible future abortion. This might be low risk, and thus low cost, since it seems unlikely that a high percentage of a large group of women would
actually need an abortion. Just wondering.
