True, but totally irrelevent to the discussion, unless you’re so pissed about being required to buy insurance that no other part of the bill seems even vaguely important to you.

Look, that’s why I’m pissed. Because the House passed Stupak-Pitts, which is a calculated attempt to remove abortion services from normal health care coverage. If that seems unimportant to you, I can merely disagree.

I’m pissed because the federal government has no business telling citizens what to buy or not buy, let alone from their approved list. It has no business telling insurance companies what they can or can’t cover either. But that’s the game the majority of us apparently want to play nowadays. If you want the government involved in the process whatsoever, and want to take taxpayer money in the process, insurance companies and citizens alike, then you get what you deserve.

Abortion being removed from health insurance plans when they cost about $500 for those stupid enough to need one is the least of my concerns. It’s about up there with which spoon do I grab out of the drawer for my morning cereal.
