Obama Admin Finalizes Rules: $1 Abortions in ObamaCare

It’s official. The concern pro-life organizations had about the ObamaCare legislation funding abortions has been confirmed, as the Obama administration has issued the final rules on abortion funding governing the controversial health care law.

Nestled within the “individual mandate” in the Obamacare act — that portion of the Act requiring every American to purchase government — approved insurance or pay a penalty — is an “abortion premium mandate.” This mandate requires all persons enrolled in insurance plans that include elective abortion coverage to pay a separate premium from their own pockets to fund abortion. As a result, many pro-life Americans will have to decide between a plan that violates their consciences by funding abortion, or a plan that may not meet their health needs.

The Department of Health and Human Services has issued a final rule regarding establishment of the state health care exchanges required under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

As a knowledgeable pro-life source on Capitol Hill informed LifeNews, as authorized by Obamacare, “the final rule provides for taxpayer funding of insurance coverage that includes elective abortion” and the change to longstanding law prohibiting virtually all direct taxpayer funding of abortions (the Hyde Amendment) is accomplished through an accounting arrangement described in the Affordable Care Act and reiterated in the final rule issued today.

“To comply with the accounting requirement, plans will collect a $1 abortion surcharge from each premium payer,” the pro-life source informed LifeNews. “The enrollee will make two payments, $1 per month for abortion and another payment for the rest of the services covered. As described in the rule, the surcharge can only be disclosed to the enrollee at the time of enrollment. Furthermore, insurance plans may only advertise the total cost of the premiums without disclosing that enrollees will be charged a $1 per month fee to pay directly subsidize abortions.”

The pro-life advocate told LifeNews that the final HHS rule mentions, but does not address concerns about abortion coverage in “multi-state” plans administered by the Federal Government’s Office of Personal Management (OPM).

“There is nothing in the Affordable Care Act to prevent some OPM (government administered) plans from covering elective abortion, and questions remain about whether OPM multi-state plans will include elective abortion,” the pro-life source said. “If such plans do include abortion, there are concerns that the abortion coverage will even be offered in states that have prohibited abortion coverage in their state exchanges.”

The final rule indicates “Specific standards for multi-state plans will be described in future rulemaking published by OPM…”

Set to go into effect in 2014, the unconstitutional provisions found in Section 1303 of the Obamacare Act compel enrollees in certain health plans to pay a separate abortion premium from their own pocket, without the ability to decline abortion coverage based on religious or moral objection.

That provision was the subject of a legal document Bioethics Defense Fund’s Dorinda C. Bordlee, lead counsel for the group, submitted to the Supreme Court in February.

“This violates the Free Exercise Clause because religious exemptions are made for groups such as the Amish who morally object to purchasing any insurance, but no exemptions are made for Americans who have religious or moral objections to abortion,” Bordlee said.

“President Obama’s healthcare overhaul includes an ‘abortion premium mandate’ that blatantly violates the conscience rights and First Amendment religious rights of millions of Americans,” AUL president Charmaine Yoest said. “Nowhere in the Constitution does it require Americans to violate their beliefs and pay for abortions.”

ADF Senior Counsel Steven Aden says Americans should not be compelled to pay for other people’s elective abortions.

“No one should be forced to violate their conscience by paying for abortions, but that’s precisely what ObamaCare does,” he explained. “ObamaCare requires that employees enrolled in certain health plans pay a separate insurance premium specifically to pay for other people’s elective abortions and offers no opt-out for religious or moral reasons. Such a mandate cannot survive constitutional scrutiny.”

BDF president and general counsel Nikolas Nikas said the individual mandate not only forces individuals into private purchases, it also effectively mandates personal payments for surgical abortion coverage, without exemption for individual’s religious or moral objections.

He told LifeNews in an email, “Like a Russian nesting doll, the individual mandate has nestled within it a hidden, but equally unconstitutional scheme that effectively imposes an ‘abortion premium mandate’ that violates the free exercise rights of millions of Americans who have religious objections to abortion.”

Could this be the end of Obamacare though? If people refuse to pay for abortions, choose to drop their health insurance and just opt for the fine, that could screw the program over... or better yet, if people decide to practice a little civil disobedience and refuse to pay the Obamacare fine.

Caesar Tyrannus Obama, I Will Not Submit

The Obama Regime has mandated that Americans MUST fund abortion by exactly one dollar per month. This is done by mandating that the service commodity of health insurance must be purchased as a condition of lawful residency in the United States.

Caesar Tyrannus Obama, I will not submit.

Attached as a separate surcharge to every health insurance policy that covers abortion (and TRUST that the regime will soon mandate abortion coverage - just as they have done with contraception, sterilization and abortifacients) will be an "abortion surcharge" of $1.00 per month, to be billed as a separate transaction from the rest of the premium. This abortion surcharge will apply to every policy, even if the sole policy holder is a man or the elderly. EVERYONE will be billed $1.00 per month SPECIFICALLY to fund abortion.

Caesar Tyrannus Obama, I will not submit.

If you don't buy health insurance, they will impose an excise tax on your tax return, and thus the abortion surcharge will be collected in that way.

Caesar Tyrannus Obama, I will not submit.

CITATION LINK HERE.

Key excerpt:

“To comply with the accounting requirement, plans will collect a $1 abortion surcharge from each premium payer,” the pro-life source informed LifeNews. “The enrollee will make two payments, $1 per month for abortion and another payment for the rest of the services covered. As described in the rule, the surcharge can only be disclosed to the enrollee at the time of enrollment. Furthermore, insurance plans may only advertise the total cost of the premiums without disclosing that enrollees will be charged a $1 per month fee to pay directly subsidize abortions.”

Guys, this is establishing a mandate that everyone bend their knee and submit to Caesar Tyrannus Obama who demands worship in the form of child sacrifice. They are trying to make every single person turn their back on God and engage in communal child sacrifice.

It isn't enough that they lie, cheat and steal their way to billion-dollar personal estates. It isn't enough that they decide who lives and who dies. Even that isn't the endgame. No. They want to be God, they want to be worshiped as god, and they want to dictate the fates of men's immortal souls by forcing them to reject the One True God and join them with their master in hell.

Let there be no more hesitation or shyness about using the term "antichrist" with regards to the Obama regime. It is no longer debatable. We are dealing with an antichrist.

What are you going to do? Are you going to shrug your shoulders and pay your one dollar per month - your PINCH OF INCENSE - and then claim that you had no choice?

YOU HAVE A CHOICE.
NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU VIOLATE YOUR OWN CONSCIENCE. IF YOU CHOOSE THE PRESERVATION OF YOUR ESTATE, YOUR PERSONAL FREEDOM, OR YOUR LIFE OVER JESUS CHRIST, YOU WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT.
IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH, POUNDED HOME AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN IN SCRIPTURE, THEN YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN. IT IS THAT SIMPLE.

This isn't a game. This isn't a TV show. This is it. This is where the rubber meets the road. This is eternal life or eternal death. It is put up or shut up time. There is going to be a massive sifting of men. Sadly, most will reject Christ in order to maintain their earthly wealth, and won't even think twice about it. Only a tiny, tiny minority will carry their cross. You need to figure out what you are going to do, and figure it out quickly.

Caesar Tyrannus Obama, I will NEVER submit.

"Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. How narrow is the gate, and straight is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!
Matthew 7:13-14
