Congressmen Jeff Duncan (R-SC) and Michael Cloud (R-TX) sent a letter on Thursday to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) asking them to put an end to the hidden abortion surcharge in many Obamacare plans before Open Enrollment begins on Nov. 1. The letter was signed by 81 Members of Congress.
The federal government had long forbidden taxpayer money from funding elective abortions or buying health plans that had abortion coverage built-in. It was supposed to be that the “Abortion Surcharge” went into a separate account to pay for the elective abortions. The measure was to prevent all taxpayers from unknowingly having to pay for elective abortions.
