Congressman Ryan on Public Funding for Abortion in Health Care Reform Bill

[kweer58]

1:10 "There's going to be no public funding of abortion (in health care reform)". Untrue, Mr. Ryan. HR 3926 authorizes the Administration to pay for all abortions under the "public option". Enrollees would have to pay in to abortion coverage. Abortionists would send bills for abortions to the federal government, and they would receive payment checks drawn on a federal account. The funds in this account is government (public) money. This would be direct federal government funding of abortion.

The issue is not healthcare reform, but government reform, since the moral hazard of government involvement already in play, ensures that healthcare providers are incentivised to always offer the most expensive remedies possible, and enforce their position through the lobbyists of K-Street and 21st century democracy.

Come on thats bullshit, if a woman can't afford to get an abortion she will get an abortion anyway she can, it is up to the health care provider to "provide" a safe and affordable care that they need no matter who the provider is. You're not going to stop people from getting an abortion any more then you can stop some one from smoking pot, it is and should be in your best interest to provide a safe way of doing so, for both issues.
