That is a tricky thing because abortion is a legal medical procedure so why shouldn't your healthcare cover it? Makes sense.
Some people will object on moral grounds saying they don't want their money to be used for abortions, which makes sense since it'd be a government option.
I don't know what kind of coverage is available now for abortion cause I've never looked into it, but if any private insurance covers it (I would if I were private insurance, it is cheaper than costs of having the baby), then the people objecting would already be paying for it.
Geezus. Plastic surgery and a boob job is a legal medical procedure, but insurance doesn't cover it.
OCPs, viagra, and abortions (unless for medical reasons) shouldn't be covered by anyone's insurance. Driving up the price for people's sexual choices.

Its all becomming clear now why the libs are so rabid for this
Gee, health insurance covering a legal, recognized medical procedure.
Yep--if it one thing libs are not known for, its accountability.
As opposed to the conservative agenda, right? Your hero (now thankfully out of office) was so accountable to the entire nation, it's frightening to contemplate.

I'm sorry, could you show me your shining example of Republican/Conservative accountability before you start casting stones from that glass house??
I cannot think of one Conservative who's come out and said, "Ummm, yeah.... We tried that and it didn't work... Oops..".
Of course the other possibility is that you believe the Republicans/Conservatives are never wrong.... In fact, withdraw my request. I'm guessing that's actually what you think...

Bluecross covers abortion AND prenatal care/maternity in my plan. It's a $100 copay for an abortion, I believe.

Same reason they won't cover LASIK. It's a procedure that you get because you choose to, but there's really no medical necessity behind it. As much as the left pushes it 99.999999% of abortions are done because they don't want a child. Period.
