o'nocchio care - Baucus "Health" Bill Directly Funds Abortions with Tax-Dollars: Time, US News confirm

From: Chaplain Klingenschmitt  Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009

President Obama's credibility was dealt another blow yesterday, by a fellow Democrat who broke Obama's phony pledge to Congress that "No federal dollars will be used to fund abortions."  Now both the House and Senate versions fund elective abortions, making Obama's words more untrue than when he first spoke them.

The "new and improved" Senate plan released by Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) not only directly funds some abortions, it also dramatically increases the number of babies likely to be killed by ELECTIVE abortion using tax-dollars and federal funds.  Abortions that were not previously funded but will now be funded include, at least, killing children in cases of rape, incest, and the life of the mother. (The life exception is sometimes valid, but never should an innocent child be killed just because its father happens to be a criminal.) Yet the new Baucus funding also covers elective abortions of convenience, as confirmed by U.S. News and World Report quoting National Right To Life:

"The [Baucus] bill contains provisions that would send massive federal subsidies directly to both private insurance plans and government-chartered cooperatives that pay for elective abortion. This would be a drastic break from longstanding federal policy, under which federal funds do not [yet] pay for elective abortions or subsidize health plans that cover elective abortions. For example, current law prohibits any of the over 250 private health plans that participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program from paying for elective abortions, because these plans receive federal subsidies. These private plans cover over 8 million federal employees and dependents, including members of Congress."  [But that restriction is effectively overturned by the Baucus bill.]

According to Focus On The Family Action, under the Baucus bill:
* $6 billion would go for health insurance cooperatives, which would be permitted to cover abortion.
* Abortions permitted under the Hyde Amendment would be mandated under the minimum benefits package [of the Baucus bill].
* Tax credits and cost-sharing credits could be re-labeled to pay for abortion under private premiums.

Ashley Horne, federal policy analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said despite the White House's stance that there will be no abortion funding in any health-care bill, both the House and Senate versions mandate such funding.  "We don't care about rhetoric when it comes to protecting innocent, preborn lives," she said.  "We care about results."
Over 50 young people prayed with me in Washington DC during our all-night "27 hours of Prayer" vigil on the West Lawn of the Capitol Sunday night, with national pro-life leaders like Pat Mahoney and Chris Slattery, and we prayed specifically that abortion funding would be struck from the President's health care bill.

At first, I was encouraged, hoping that God had answered our prayers, when Senator Baucus promised that abortion funding would not be mandated in his "new and improved" version of the Senate bill.  But upon further inspection, I was horrified.

Time Magazine now confirms: "Under the Baucus plan, like the House plan, certain individuals would get government subsidies to help buy private insurance in a publicly-established exchanges. There would be a guaranteed choice in each health insurance exchange between at least one plan that does not offer abortion services beyond rape, incest and the life of the mother, and at least one plan that does, allowing consumers to choose their preference."

In other words, if you couldn't afford an abortion yesterday, it will be free tomorrow, so long as you simply choose the right plan, tax-payers will fund your abortion, even elective abortions of convenience, above and beyond the cases of rape, incest, and life. Ironically President Obama will sign a bill that fulfills Margaret Sanger's racist vision to exterminate poor children, many of whom will be African-American, through abortion.

By creating an "accounting scheme" child-killing providers must pretend "to segregate funds internally, so that only private dues, and not federal subsidies, pay for actual abortion services," but they are not required to increase the co-pay, so the abortion is essentially free to the young woman who receives federal dollars to electively kill her child, or costs the same as any other doctor's office visit.
Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) issued an apology after his outburst, "you lie," toward President Obama during his health care speech to Congress on Wednesday.  "I let my emotion get the best of me," Wilson said in a statement. "I extend sincere apologies to the president."  We commend Wilson for his quick humility.  But questions remain:  

Did Obama tell lies during the speech?  Was Wilson right after all?  And why doesn't Obama apologize just as quickly for calling conservatives liars?  In their fact-checking, the press confirmed FIVE WHOPPERS told by the President himself:  

OBAMA LIE #1: "No federal dollars will be used to fund abortions."

THE TRUTH:  The Capps Amendment to HR 3200 has a Section 4B that reads: "Abortions for Which Public Funding Is Allowed. -- The services described in this subparagraph are abortions for which the expenditure of Federal funds appropriated for the Department of Health and Human Services is permitted."  The Washington Times reported:  "You can't get more explicit than that."  And FactCheck.org exposed Obama's lie too:  "Despite what Obama said, the House bill would allow abortions to be covered by a federal plan and by federally subsidized private plans."  So President Obama lied, plain and simple.  

OBAMA LIE #2: "I will n?t sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits either now or in the future. Period."    

THE TRUTH:  The Democrat controlled Congressional Budget Office said Obamacare would add $220 billion to the deficit over 10 years, but will not succeed at shrinking the overall costs of our nation's health care.  Republicans claim it's more like $600 billion increased deficit spending.  (Confirmed by Associated Press, 9 Sep 09.)  Either way, Obama lied.    

OBAMA LIE #3: "Don't pay attention to those scary stories about how your benefits will be cut...That will never happen on my watch. I will protect Medicare."    

THE TRUTH:  The Washington Post reports Obama proposes "to squeeze more than $500 billion out of the growth of Medicare over the next decade....[which has] fueled fears that his effort to expand coverage to millions of younger, uninsured Americans will damage elder care. As a result, barely one-third of seniors support a health-care overhaul, several polls found." (Washington Post, 9 Aug 09)  Even the Post admits, Obama lied.
   .

OBAMA LIE #4:  "If you lose your job or change your job, you will be able to get coverage."

THE TRUTH:  Whether working or not, rich or poor, you will be ordered to get mandatory government-run health-care coverage, or pay a fine a $3800 fine per family, under the new Senate plan being railroaded through the finance committee by Max Baucus (D-MT).  (New York Times, 9 Sep 09).  Obama pretends you're "able" to get coverage, when he knows it's mandatory (with a big tax increase or "fine" penalty).  Obama lied.  But the biggest of all...  

OBAMA LIE #5:  "The claim, made not just by radio and cable talk show hosts, but prominent politicians, that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens, such a charge would be laughable if it weren't so cynical and irresponsible. It is a lie, plain and simple."    

THE TRUTH:  Mandator "end of life" counseling in HR 3200 "shall" include counseling every 5 years to the elderly, giving doctors a monetary incentive to persuade you to sign a "do not resuscitate" (DN) ?order to pull the ?lug on Grandma, just like the Obama administration already pressures all Veterans to sign them.   (Confirmed by the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal, read extensive details at www.prayinjesusname.org.)  And under the British NHS government-run health plan, "Patients with terminal illnesses are being made to die prematurely under an NHS scheme to help end their lives, leading doctors have warned."   (The Daily Telegraph, 2 Sep 09).  Dr. Ewing Cook just admitted intentionally killing patients who signed DNR authorizations during Hurricane Katrina.  "I gave her medicine so I could get rid of her faster...there's no question I hastened her demise."   Bottom line: Grandma, don't sign Obama's DNR order, even if your doctor gets a bonus check from the President for talking you into that.   

Obama lied at least five times during his speech.  Congressman Wilson was right after all.
