New ObamaCare Rule Departs from Hyde Amendment

New ObamaCare Rule Departs from Hyde Amendment | NRL News Today: At its core the Hyde amendment has TWO parts. It prohibits funding for abortion AND funding for insurance plans that include abortion. This is the fundamental reality of longstanding federal law: taxpayer dollars DO NOT subsidize abortion plans that include elective abortion.

Now, under Obamacare, taxpayers subsidies in the form of refundable, advanceable credits paid directly to the insurance company will subsidize insurance plans offered on the exchange that include abortion on demand—even late-term abortion. Obamacare further breaks with longstanding law by establishing a new abortion surcharge and secrecy clause.
