Obamacare’s expansion could send taxpayers to abortion, warn pro-life groups

Nearly 100 pro-life groups urge the congress to ensure that if they choose to extend subsidies to the Acting on affordable care (ACA), they must also include specific provisions, ensuring that these subsidies do not get used to the elective abortions.

THE letter, Supported by Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America (formerly Susan B. Anthony List), argues that pro-Choix Democrats “created” from the ACA to avoid the protections of the Hyde amendment, adopted in the late 1970s to prevent dollars from the taxes to go to elective abortions. The coverage of elective abortions through ACA insurance regimes, according to the letter, comes from payments to reduce costs and tax credits to bonuses which should expire at the end of the year.

As part of the “Big and Beautiful” Package of expenses of the Republicans adopted in early July, federal payments of Medicaid were prohibited from the entities which provided abortions beyond the exceptions of the Hyde amendment for rape, incest or the life of the mother. But, according to the 88 different pro-life groups which signed the SBA letter in the Congress, this progress could be lost if the Americans become obliged to pay the abortion services by the ACA, also known as “Obamacare”.

“The American people clearly do not want to be subsidizing the violence of abortion,” said SBA president Marjorie Dannenfelser, in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. “Sixty percent of voters, including democrats, pro-Choix voters and the majority of the self-employed, oppose the financing of taxpayers of abortion.”

When the ACA was written, a provision of historic health legislation, article 1303, sought to prohibit federal funds from going towards abortions without Hyde. The ACA provision requires that all ACA health insurers provide abortion electoral coverage to receive private payment from registrants for such coverage, in order to ensure that it is not covered by federal funds.

However, the subsequent directives of the Obama era made it possible to consolidate the separate abortion bonus payments in a single transaction with payments for non -abortion coverage, which effectively suppresses any distinction between the coverage payments linked to abortion and cover payments not linked to abortion.

The republicans and pro-life defenders argued that this decision led to the creation of taxpayers’ funds with the separate private funds intended for the cover of abortion, which, in turn, indirectly finances elective abortions. They also argue that this obscures information from pro-life consumers who may not wish to be a health insurance plan that provides abortion financing.

Democrats seek to abolish the anti-abortion Hyde amendment-but how far are they ready to go?

In 2014, the Government Accountability Project (GAO) examined compliance with article 1303 of the ACA among a sample of 18 insurance companies that cover non -hyde exempt abortions. While the analysis did not find any proof of federal funds used directly for the abortions, not one of the 18 insurers in which he examined was fully in accordance with the mandate of the ACA to collect a separate payment specifically for the coverage of abortion.

Nationally, the GAO noted that 1,036 qualified health plans which covered non -hyde exempt abortions, most of them had highly subsidized registration rates around the 87% average which includes all the ACA health plans.

During the first term of President Donald Trump, he tried to impose more strict distinct transaction requirements, but they were finally repealed under Biden.

“We have just financed great abortion, but our progress is lost if the Americans are forced to finance abortion on demand by Obamacare. Obamacare was the greatest expansion of abortion funded by taxpayers since Roe V. Wade, subsidizing the insurance plans that cover elective law The Obamacare for a Cœuf-19 formulation. “” This pro-life congress should not further extend the heritage of Obama and Biden to subsidies funded by taxpayers who end the life of countless children to be born. “”

Fox News Digital has contacted many pro-Choix groups for their point of view on the letter calling for specific Hyde protections for any expansion of the ACA.

Liz McCaman Taylor, Federal Federal Policy Advisor to the Center for Reproductive Rights, said that the letter of the coalition of 88 pro-life groups serves “to push the abortion services even further Out of reach, including in states where abortion is legal. “”

“The reality is that people already have an extremely limited access to abortion care thanks to the affordable care law,” said McCaman.

“This is an attempt to dictate the decisions of the states on the advantages they can and cannot offer to their citizens,” said McCaman. “The claims of anti-abortion defenders” leave abortion to the states “were clearly a lie.”
