President Biden has been caught trying to hide insurance premiums for abortion – a move that could have Americans “unknowingly fund” the procedures, inside of premiums for legitimate health insurance, according to a new report from the Family Research Council.
The organization has submitted a public comment to the Department of Health and Human Services on the Democrat Party’s agenda to change the payment procedures for health insurance.
The HHS, behind a “deceptively innocuous title,” “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act: Updating Payment Parameters and Improving Health Insurance Markets for 2022 and Beyond,” wants actually to violate the Obamacare law.
“Under the proposed rule, insurers would be able to collect payments for both abortions and legitimate healthcare in a single payment,” explained FRC of the Biden administration’s strategic agenda of abortion-for-all.
However, in Section 1303 of the Obamacare law, “Congress required insurers to collect ‘a separate payment’ for abortions,” even though Obama did not enforce that.
“During the Trump administration, HHS complied with the law, requiring transparency and separate payments for abortion,” FRC explained.
“American taxpayers should not have to unknowingly fund abortion, a practice that many find morally objectionable. American sentiment and standing policies make it clear that taxpayer dollars have no place in funding the abortion industry. There must be a clear separation between legitimate health care and elective abortion,” the comment said.
Connor Semelsberger, FRC’s director of federal affairs for Life and Human Dignity, added, “The passage of Obamacare in 2010 was the largest deviation from the bipartisan consensus to not use taxpayer funding for abortion, first established by the Hyde Amendment in 1976. Pro-life Democrats included an accounting gimmick in Section 1303 of Obamacare purportedly as a pro-life solution, but it has been nothing more than a smokescreen to redirect taxpayer funding to abortion. President Trump issued new regulations that complied with the abortion transparency requirements in Obamacare; however, the Biden administration is now attempting to revert back to an approach of nonexistent enforcement similar to that of the Obama administration, which hid which plans cover abortion and mixed abortion and health plan funding together.”
Democrats in Congress now, in fact, are trying to destroy the Hyde Amendment, and any other provision that restricts the assignment of taxpayer dollars to multiple massive abortion industry players around the world.
FRC pointed out that not only would the change violate Obamacare, it diminishes the distinction between health care and abortion, it lacks transparency and it violates Hyde Amendment principles.
FRC said the move would “force taxpayers to unwillingly subsidize the abortion industry and create a lack of transparency resulting in policyholders unwittingly paying for abortion-covering insurance plans.”
It continued, “By allowing insurance companies to college a combined payment, the proposed rule does not distinguish between legitimate health care and elective abortions. … Abortion does not equate to health care, and our laws should reflect that fact.”
Abortion is, in fact, the one procedure that when done properly concludes with the death of one of every two living beings “treated.”
