insurance companies are businesses right? that's the american way!! free enterprise!!!
insurance companies seem to have a sound business model.. because I've never seen so many profitable companies with terrible customer service... I wonder what their secret is??? oh that's right.. collecting money.. while refusing services.. silly me..
I realize that folks who want to promote an anti-choice politics won't read far enough into the article to learn why this proposal is being made, so as a public service, I'll make that clear, here: Insurers selling their plans on the state exchanges taking effect next year will have to segregate the premiums they collect for abortion coverage. This proposal balances that imbalance for an area where such segregation is acknowledged for what it is, an anti-woman measure added to the ACA to assuage anti-choice proponents.
The reality is that insurance companies shouldn't be used to financially employ restrictions on people, preventing them from medical services that they have a right to as a matter of basic human rights, control over their own bodies. It's kind of like anti-choice proponents trying to call a do-over, having lost their fight against women on basic decency grounds, it's like trying to get what they want to some measure, and at the same time lording over poor people, by making reproductive services less affordable for the less affluent in our society. To see the hypocrisy inherent in the opposition to Washington's measure, note that the opponents are not taking action against coverage for state-based requirements for infertility care, such as we have here already in Massachusetts and also are in place already in New York (and being pushed in several other states, already). Shame shame.
Well that certainly takes the "choice" out of the picture, doesn't it ?
Look on the bright side. Washington hasn't decided to bomb Iran yet and that's saved American taxpayers billions of $$$$, and innocent children's lives, not to mention our troop's lives.
I see my attempt at being facetious didn't work.
