HHS Sec. Explains ObamaCare Abortion Loophole: Special Account Funded by an ‘Accounting Procedure’

This fund would then pay for medical procedures that do not invade the “privacy rights of women” – in other words: abortion.

Whether you’re male or female, whether you’re 75 or 25, you would all set aside a portion of your premium that would go into a fund, and it would not be earmarked for anything, it would be a separate account that everyone in the exchange would pay.”
