Washington Post: House Democrats Admit Hyde Doesn't Apply to New 'Medicaid-like' Program | National Review

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : The Affordable Care Act already requires plans to cover all FDA-approved contraceptives with no co-pay or cost-sharing, but as HealthCare.gov notes: "Plans aren't required to cover drugs to induce abortions."
48% : Because the new Medicaid program in these twelve states wouldn't be up and running until 2025, the bill would, starting in 2022, make these low-income individuals eligible for Obamacare plans that the government would subsidize to the tune of 99 percent of the actuarial value of medical expenses (up from 94 percent under current law).
46% : So family-planning services "not otherwise provided" means abortion.
44% : These aren't the only ways the House Energy and Commerce Committee bill would fund abortion.
43% : The House reconciliation bill would require funding for family-planning services "which are not otherwise provided under such plan[s]" in Obamacare.
35% : As National Review previously reported, the new Medicaid-like program isn't the only way the House Democrats' reconciliation bill would fund abortion:
33% : Does Warnock think health care includes abortion? "
31% : Obamacare plans in these twelve states do not currently cover taxpayer funding of abortion -- the Affordable Care Act allowed states to prohibit elective abortion coverage in their exchanges -- but the House Democrats' bill appears to do an end run around that prohibition, too, starting in 2024.
