And if you have cancer and lose your private insurance, you’ll have to wait six months under Obama Care!
Remember how Obama accused opponents of the government run health care scheme of telling lies about the plan? Remember how Dems promised abortions wouldn’t be paid for with your money? Guess who is lying?
From House Republican Leader John Boehner:
Health care reform should not be used as an opportunity to use federal funds to pay for elective abortions. Health reform should be an opportunity to protect human life – not end it.
Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi’s 2,032-page government takeover of health care does just that. On line 17, p. 110, section 222 under “Abortions for which Public Funding is Allowed” the Health and Human Services Secretary is given the authority to determine when abortion is allowed under the government-run plan. The Speaker’s plan also requires that at least one insurance plan offered in the Exchange covers abortions.
What is even more alarming is that a monthly abortion premium will be charged of all enrollees in the government-run plan. It’s right there on line 16, page 96, section 213, under “Insurance Rating Rules.” The premium will be paid into a U.S. Treasury account – and these federal funds will be used to pay for the abortion services.
Section 213 describes the process in which the Health Benefits Commissioner is to assess the monthly premiums that will be used to pay for elective abortions under the government-run plan. The Commissioner must charge at a minimum $1 per enrollee per month.
A majority of Americans believe that health care plans should not be mandated to provide elective abortion coverage, and a majority of Americans do not believe government health care plans should include abortion coverage. Currently, federal appropriations bills include language known as the Hyde Amendment that prohibits the use of federal funds to pay for elective abortions under the Medicare and Medicaid programs, while another provision, known as the Smith Amendment, prohibits federal funding of abortion under the federal employees’ health benefits plan.
Speaker Pelosi’s 2,032-page health care monstrosity is an affront to the American people and drastically moves away from current policy. The American people deserve more from their government than being forced to pay for abortion.
Got Cancer? Wait Six Months Under Obama Care!
Remember too how Dems insisted their plan would cover the uninsurable? In his joint address to Congress Obama used this horror story to illustrate what was wrong with America’s health care system:
“One man from Illinois lost his coverage in the middle of chemotherapy because his insurer found that he hadn’t reported gallstones that he didn’t even know about. They delayed his treatment, and he died because of it.”
First of all, that story wasn’t true. Just another Obama fib. Big deal right?
No, it’s worse than that. In the Senate bill Harry Reid negotiated in secret, there is a six month waiting period before people whose private insurance is canceled can get benefits. “If you are a cancer patient and have cancer now, you can’t wait six months to go into a plan because your condition can go from bad to death,” said Stephen Finan, a policy expert with the American Cancer Society.
The outrage Obama stirred up with his phony horror story WOULD happen if the Democrat’s bill passes the Senate.
So again, who is lying about health care?
