Republicans may support universal healthcare if abortion is explicitly excluded

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Hatch and his Republican colleagues on the Senate Finance Committee are pushing legislation that would require insurers operating within the new Exchange to to deny coverage for abortion services.

...

Nineteen House members have also sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) stating that they will not vote for health care reform legislation “unless it explicitly excludes abortion funding from the scope of any government-defined or subsidized health insurance plan.” “Furthermore, we want to ensure that the Health Benefits Advisory Committee cannot recommend abortion services be included under covered benefits or as part of a benefits package,” the members wrote.

I thought public option was off the table for discussion as far as the Republicans were concerned? Are they buckling under the pressure of the American people?

If mob rule is what you seek, you shall get it. What will an America ruled by the unemployed and the indigent look like? Try Haiti.

Populism will lead us to becoming like Haiti. God help us all.

This is what a typical neighborhood in Haiti looks like. Does this look like any place you want to live in, Steven?

Think twice before you say no, because this is the last stop, the terminal stop, of the socialist train you're so itching to hitch a ride on!

Shut up! Not even close.

That would you dare laugh when faced with an image of such unimaginable horror merely confirms what I've suspected all along. You your cohorts will stop at nothing short of complete annihilation of the American way of life.

Hmm....Well, if the Republican will support universal health care by excluding abortion, I'd say it is a start in the right direction or attempt to get it into the right direction. Lets accept that exclusion everyone.

It's a starting point.
