| Sen. Reid's Government-Run Health Plan STILL Requires a Monthly Abortion Fee |
| 2009-12-20 |
| The money shot: The Reid amendment directs insurance companies to assess the cost of elective abortion coverage (p. 43), and charge a minimum of $1 per enrollee per month (p. 43, lines 20-22). Maybe Nelson will begin his backstroke soon...? H.T.: Drudge |

| #14 Skunky E: Maybe I'm optimistic but I think people will fight against this socialism. Nearly 60% of the people don't want he so-called health care [or cap and trade or the rest of this cockamie legislation. There have been millions of people getting active in the Tea Party, going to Washington and other locations and flooding Congress with letters and emails. We have had socialistic Presidents and administrations before, e.g. FDR and Lyndon Johnson. |

| #13 I REALLY don't think the people here will fight that hard. Too much trouble. Our young people know how to fight over in Afghanistan and Iraq have been fighting hard for 8 long years to keep us safe. In the meantime, people here state side layed down and let Socialists roll right over them, for the first time in over 200 years of American history. People here would rather ban fighters than fight. |

| #11 we're basically left to hoping the leftists want too much (public option, single payer, abortion on demand with taxpayer funding) that the conference blows up and there's a Dem Civil War...come to think of it, I'd really like that |

| #10 Is the fight over? I'm still writing and calling the Senate, especially lieberman and webb, and isn't there an opportunity to peel back some blue-dogs in the house? I cannot believe we can't scream louder, and by God make these bastards pay in November. |

| #7 If my math is correct, then if everyone in the country was enrolled in the plan, and an abortion cost $1000, there would be funds to abort everyone in America every year - in most cases very late-term (100th trimester or so), and we'd have to really increase immigration to get past the first year. |

| #6 It just happens that we elected Congress's foremost abortion enthusiast to the presidency. (Yes, I place Barack Obama ahead of Barbara Boxer.) |

| #5 No, its all about CONTROL. Always was. The abortion issue is just a bribe to the left to get them to buy into it. |

| #4 I am now beginning to believe this bill is all about abortion, and little else. |

| #1 Not a problem, Nelson is bought and his pay comes after he votes for the bill. Wonder what his "up front" was? |
