PJM: When the Obamacare legislation was being debated, opponents argued that because it would require insurance companies to cover abortion services, it was illegal due to the congressional stricture against the government funding abortions.
Indeed, if the insurance coverage was being subsidized by the government, and the government was forcing insurance companies to cover the procedure, the only logical conclusion was that the government was funding abortions.
The Obama administration discovered a “workaround” for the dilemma by requiring insurance companies to itemize their coverage for abortion. It didn’t solve the problem, but it gave cover to Congress in order to pass the ACA.
But many companies never got around to itemizing abortion coverage. To solve that, the Trump administration has now issued a ruling that forces insurance companies to send a separate invoice to the three million Americans who signed up for Obamacare coverage on the exchanges.
Many of those invoices will be going to men, who, of course, will never find a need for abortion coverage.
But the new policy is not without its critics, especially insurance companies, which are grumbling about the increased paperwork. more
All this bs from the same retarded idiots who claim that men can menstruate and have periods and can give birth. I am so glad I don’t have friggin worthless obummercare. At least Medicare for right now doesn’t require paying for abortion services due to the fact that by the time you’re my age you don’t need it unless you knock up a younger woman and selfishly make her abort your unborn child. For us older people they’ll probably force so called death care on us all in the name of saving the planet from overpopulation of old farts like myself. I hate the left and everything it touches.
Of course congress has a law for decades that “prevents them from funding abortions”, but it hasn’t ever really stopped them from doing so.
The insurance industry bitches about more paper work. Hell, that’s how they get paid!…..They are NOTHING more then paperwork processors that drive health care costs UP!!!!…..and actual health care down…..
Wait. What? It was covered? Dammit!
The entire problem is that fact the government is in involved with health care at all.
There is a congressional stricture against the government funding abortions. But it’s not in place to prevent the government from funding abortions: it’s in place so that whenever anyone says “The government is funding abortions!”, they can respond with “There is a congressional stricture against the government funding abortions.”
The world would be a better place if 0bama’s momma had the Witch Doctor abort him.
The only upside to that filth’s(Oblowjob) existence is he took this country so far into tyranny that President Trump had to come in to reverse the damage.
“To solve that, the Trump administration has now issued a ruling that forces insurance companies to send a separate invoice to the three million Americans who signed up for Obamacare coverage on the exchanges.”
BRILLIANT. That will sour millions on Obamacare. 🤣
#V<& ShitbamaKare, and the halfwit it rode in on! 😡
Yeah, and make people pay their gasoline taxes; in cash, separately, at every fill up to give them a better idea of how much they pay.
And union dues; in cash, once a week.
And send a check, monthly, for Socialist Security.
And another check for Mediscam.
izlamo delenda est …
“grumbling about the increased paperwork”. Serves you right for going into bed with that traitor, Obumbles.
Claudia- Right? They alone could have tied 0bama’s ass in court for his entire term.
