Connecticut Deems Abortion an ‘Essential Health Benefit’ Under Obamacare

Connecticut Says Abortion Is an Essential Health BenefitA Connecticut state health panel voted unanimously last week to pass a measure deeming elective abortions an “essential health benefit.” This means that, when the plan takes effect in 2014, abortions of any kind, for any reason, would be covered by state insurnace plans under the Affordable Care Act — a.k.a. Obamacare. Of course, the move has already sparked outrage in certain circles, as well as debate, over its implications.

The Connecticut Mirror explains:

In Connecticut, every private health insurance plan already covers elective abortions, said Victoria Veltri, the state’s healthcare advocate. However, for this new essential benefits plan, the state must create a model — using the state employee plan, the federal employee plan or a private plan — for what is required to be covered.

Had the state selected the federal employees’ health plan, which does not cover abortions, then business and individuals who purchased this essential benefits package would not receive abortion coverage.

Meanwhile, the panel, which passed the measure with ease, thinks that their homestate is ahead of the curve when it comes what it considers women’s rights.

“It’s a matter of health. We wanted to protect a woman’s right to chose,” said Veltri. “I didn’t suspect that this would be an issue here.”

Others, however, are surprised that a decision of such gravitas was taken so lightly and not fought against more diligently.

“I was surprised that that was so easy,” Robert McLean of the Connecticut State Medical Society reportedly told Jaff after the vote. CM adds:

Peter Wolfgang, the leader of the Family Institute, a conservative advocacy group, said Friday evening that he is upset that such an important decision was made as hundreds of people were rallying in New Haven, and thousands in dozens of cities across the U.S. — against a birth control mandate and abortion.

“The pro-abortion movement has their tentacles wrapped around state government. The devil is clearly in the details when implementing the new health law,” Wolfgang added said.

    An essential health benefit for who.. the baby?? Not hardly! For the mother.. who just throws away a gift from God?? Not hardly! In my life I have known three women who had abortions.. something everyone of them regretted later in life. Only a a heartless uncaring person without a conscience can cheer on this monstrosity. Murder is murder!

      I’ll make exceptions for baby mommas on welfare.
      If these mammas are living off the gvmt, the NEXT will too, with few exceptions.

      Make them free for ALL liberals.
      Fewer on the voting roster in 18 years.

      To be fair, I generally believe any woman SHOULD have the right to choose
      and keep the men and churchs out of it.

      If it’s gonna put you on welfare and on MY dime, do what you will.
      Adoption would be better and NORPLANT should be REQUIRED for 5 years afterwards
      but still…

      That is my biggest problem with the Conservatives – which I DEFINATELY am.

      This whole abortion thing is the dumbest thing ever!! First of all…it’s a BABY, not a CHOICE. Women nowadays KNOW how they became pregnant and they KNOW how to prevent it. These lazy dames use ABORTION as a birth control measure. What if they are raped and become pregnant? You mean the 4 cases per year like that?! OR what if the BABY threatens the life of the mother? Really? Dr’s say that is so rare there are no figures for that….so what we have is BIRTH CONTROL or SEX SELECTION. You want to go kill babies? You do it on your own dime..but I hope they put the Drs and nurses who perform abortions in jail. Maybe you‘ll learn how not to be so lazy or lusty and maybe you won’t get pregnant. You silly women. You worry about the size of your breasts but not the strength of your character; the minks raised for coats but not the babies…you even think it’s okay to kill a perfectly healthy baby because SHE is the wrong sex. THERE IS NOTHING right about abortion. NOT my tax money. Grow up Connecticut. You’re living up to your liberal nightmare reputation.

As for everyone‘s views and beliefs here they of course end at the tip of the woman’s nose, as that’s where her views, beliefs and rights begin. Mind your own business and spend more time living your beliefs.

      Let me explain it again. The female egg is ALIVE. The male sperm is ALIVE. Upon conception the egg develops into a human being. Life does not “begin” it is transmuted. Their is no “beginning” point to a human life. A fetus is a human being even if it is not a “baby.”

      A fetus is not a child.”
      Yet every expectant mother call her unborn child her “baby” you Charles want to dehumanize the unborn to make it easier to justify their murder. You choose to use a term fetus to ease your guilt the life of the unborn is just as real as your life of mine, this is not religion. DNA shows that the person is whole at conception, much of their personality, their intelligence, even their sexual orientation are determined at conception. The true 99% are the unborn who lost their lives because of fear justified by this very kind of dehumanization. Less than 1% are for rape or “Life of the mother.”
      Reading your other comments I want to add that the issue is not one of “If you don’t want one don’t have one” anymore, it is “You’re going to pay for it because The Government says you’re going to pay for it”. We can no longer opt out of insurance plans that pays for abortion because Government has determined that such plans must not exist.

      The fetus that would have been your baby wasn’t a human being, It was just a bunch of semi-developed cells a quarter of the way between being a blob and being a person. You think that you lost a baby because you feel worse than you have ever felt before, but if you ever lose an actual child, you will realize that this is nothing. You will laugh at how stupid you were back now, to have imagined that you could possibly know what it feels like to lose a real child.

    Abortion advocates want to kill the babies of the unwashed masses, the poor, the ignorant, and the mentally ill. It is as simple as that. Why do they want to provide it free of cost? Because the target of their population control experiment is those who can least afford it. They don‘t care about women’s health they just want to limit the numbers of undesirables in our society.

    They’ll be able to justify it soon because society cannot afford to provide healthcare for a growing population. Kill them in teh womb and they won’t be a burden on society. They won‘t be paying taxes either but the libs don’t think that far ahead. We’ve seen 40+ million abortions in this country since Roe v. Wade. Now we have to import illegal immigrants to do the work and pay the taxes. Is there some unintended consequence here? We are aborting our culture people!!!

    I posted a comment about abortion on how it wasn‘t just abortion that the left is moving toward taking away the freedoms of those who don’t believe. A smart ass person asked “How is abortion effecting you personally you are not getting the abortion.” This is a case where it is effecting me and everyone else that pays taxes. Also to the Christian, abortion is like being a German citizen that knowingly knew about the concentration camps but did nothing about it. I have apersonal hatred of the practice but accept that it is legal. If I lived in Conneticut I personally would get church groups to picket until this.

      I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.
      I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.
      But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts.
      I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art.
      In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves.
      All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.
      If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all humanity and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my life.

But your religious views don’t give you the right to make that choice for anyone else. CT affirming that the woman’s rights are paramount, and not subject to blackmail of the insuance companies by the religious, is excellent.

    Hows about all baby killers within US borders move to Connecticut and proceed to abort each other? I would personally sponcer up to six killers to help with thier move.Shouldn’t cost much as they would only need burial cost and gas to get there and yes only a pine box will do for these heathens.

    Hope to be OUT of this f/n state before then. Our DEMOCRAT legislature just eliminated the death penalty for murderers , and now has instated a DEATH PENALTY for babies. Also the leader of the DEMOCRAT legislature, Chris Murphy had his head money thief get xed for illegal campaign contributions, and , as usual, the DEMOCRAT Chris Murphy , knew nothing,, ,NOTHING. DEMOCRATS SUCK

      Hi Spank,

      Late term? You’re slipping up. I would have thought you would say “post term”? : )

    Okay, so let me get this straight. . . When Obama said that there was no abortion coverage in the Affordable Health Care Act, he knew that it would be perfectly fine for states to interpret the act to cover abortions? Despicable. I wonder what Bart Stupak would say about this?

      You loons just make these thing up as if other don’t actually know the facts.
      No one ever ASKS why a woman want to terminate a pregnancy.
      The whole ‘sex selection’ issue doesn’t exist.

      Wow, somebody is in major denial. Sure enough, it is happening. It’s about why the abortion is being sought, whether they ask or not…if somebody volunteers that information and the clinic does nothing, or worse, encourages them to lie about it, they are contributing to sexism that is worse than discriminatory, it is FATAL. They absolutely should lose their licenses.

      (And before you ask, because I know somebody will, if it became possible to predict homosexuality I’d be against aborting them too. Time to come up with less predictable dumb questions.)

      So what if there are a few sex selection abortions going on in America? There really aren’t a lot. We have more women than men anyway. Men are more reckless. They have shorter average lifespans and die in stupid accidents more frequently. All the weirdos in the country who would ever think about aborting a fetus just because it would have been a girl aren’t going to begin to make a dent in those numbers, so why should I give a crap?
