Republican National Committee health plan covers abortion


The Republican National Committee’s health insurance plan covers elective abortion – a procedure the party’s own platform calls “a fundamental assault on innocent human life.”

Federal Election Commission Records show the RNC purchases its insurance from Cigna. Two sales agents for the company said that the RNC’s policy covers elective abortion.

Informed of the coverage, RNC spokeswoman Gail Gitcho told POLITICO that the policy pre-dates the tenure of current RNC Chairman Michael Steele.

“The current policy has been in effect since 1991, and we are taking steps to address the issue,” Gitcho said.

Leading up to passage of the House health care reform bill last week, 176 House Republicans joined 64 Democrats in voting for the so-called Stupak amendment, a measure that prohibits federal funds from being used to buy health insurance that covers elective abortions.

It seems, like in so many things, the GOP views this as something the rich should have access to but not the poor. They don't mind if those who can afford it get abortions. The poor, however, can continue to have unwanted children that the GOP will then refuse to help educate, feed or protect while lecturing about personal responsibility. WTG GOP.

So it's ok that they deal with a company that will not allow them to opt out of "Murder of innocent babies", Willbur? There is no insurance company that would have allowed them that option? Or is it just another case of "convenience vs ethics"? And is there any depths to which some will not sink to defend the good ole' right wing?

That's the theory, isn't it? I thought that was the way it was supposed to work. If there's a demand, it will reward the enterpreneur who's clever enough to figure out a way to meet it and make money off of it. Why doesn't that seem to be happening here?

And more importantly, why the hell can i not remember how to spell "entepreneur?"

Also WBD, there was an opt out clause and since 1991 they never opted out, Gee, I wonder how many babies they murdered and paid for; all the while telling the rest of America that is was a sin. 

I wonder if that nut job who protests at military funerals against abortion will be protesting in front of the RNC office soon

I'd like to see it, they do not offer it in any current policies for groups that size.

And, btw, Im pro-choice.

Is this why there are so few conservatives left?

Here is a qoute from the article "According to several Cigna employees, the insurer offers its customers the opportunity to opt out of abortion coverage — and the RNC did not choose to opt out."

Hmmm...seems their employees can make their own choice, but not the rest of the women in America if they get their way

Has anyone else noticed that all the conservatives who scream like scalded hens when a democrat gets so much as a parking ticket have studiously kept silent on this matter?

Doesn't look to me like much of anybody thinks it's a hot topic. Ya gotta find that videotape of those dirty Republicans insisting to CIGNA that their coverage include abortion on demand and swearing the sales reps to secrecy.

Or conversley you might come across the video where those evil cocksuckers at CIGNA slipped the abortion coverage into the policy after the dirty Republicans signed the papers......either way,get yourself a videotape and then you have a story.Till then all you have is another example of hypocrisy from the GOP...and lets face it those stories are a dime a dozen.

The GOP just has no way to spin this one, they preach one thing to the masses, then behind the backs of the people who voted for them, they take care of their own employees allowing them a choice while doing everything they can to stop every other women for having one
