Abortion
Prohibits the use of federal money for abortions, except as allowed by current law — in cases of rape or incest or if the life of a pregnant woman was in danger.
Prohibit the coverage of abortions by health plans that are offered for sale through the new insurance exchanges.
People who receive federal subsidies to buy insurance could enroll in health plans that cover abortion. But subscribers of health plans that cover abortion would have to make two separate monthly premium payments: one for all insurance coverage except abortion and one for abortion coverage.
Health plans that offer abortion coverage and receive federal subsidies would be required to segregate the federal money into separate accounts and use only the premium money and co-payments contributed by consumers to cover the procedure. State insurance commissioners would police the “segregation of funds.”
