[quote=Anonymous]LIVID here. Republicans are to blame because this is the policy for all the insurance carriers under the Federal Employee's Health Benefit Program. Congress dictates through a rider in the appropriations bills each year that no federal money can be spent on abortions. The feds pay part of all federal employees insurance premiums. They dictate it for the federal portion of medicaid funds too. The name of the Congressman who sponsored this legislation is the name on the bill, but the name escapes me right now. Some states have chosen to cover abortions with their own funds, not the federal portion of the Medicaid funds they recieve.. DC has been fighting about this very issue. DC wants to cover abortions under Medicaid using DC funds, not the federal funds. At one point DC won, but for some reason, I don't think that was the end.[/quote]
