Six Questions to Ask President Obama at the Health Care Summit
Why the Obama Plan Changes the Status Quo on Abortion
President Obama’s “New” Health Care Reform Proposal
Abortion Tax and other Problems in President’s Proposal
(Same as the Senate Health Care Reform Bill)
1. Health care reform must expressly exclude mandates of any kind for abortion. It must not alter prohibitions on federal funding of abortion contained in the Hyde amendment or other provisions of law, and it must explicitly ensure that federal funds do not pay for abortion or for plans that cover abortion.
2. Health care reform must provide broad protection for the freedom of conscience of all Americans, whether or not they are health care providers or religious entities. No person, provider, or insurer should be compelled to act contrary to his or her conscience in the payment for, provision of, or performance of health care.
3. Health care reform must not contain provisions that mandate or encourage the withdrawal or curtailment of effective life-sustaining treatment to the terminally ill, the chronically ill, or the permanently disabled.
