Thelma Said:

Would "national health insurance" cover abortions?

We Answered:

Any insurance program that paid for abortions would not pass Congress.

Mark Said:

does medical cover abortions?

We Answered:

In my country, Australia yes the government pays for abortions, if you have a medicare & healthcare card.. although if you want it done in a private hospital, you would have to pay.

*edit*

Whats with all these pro-life answers giving their "opinions" and getting all emotional about the question

Can you ever STICK TO THE QUESTION!! and just answer whats being asked, she asked it for a reason she didnt ask your personal opinion or for your crap, so go answer questions you actually WILL ANSWER.

David Said:

Anti choicers-would you use a health insurance company that covers abortions?

We Answered:

I'm always curious to ask people with extreme anti-choice views (like some of the answerers here): How many are you and your family adopting? If your answer is less than six, then I think they ought to keep their opinions to themselves. Every life is precious? How many of these precious lives will YOU be taking home this year?

Here in the U.S. we want them born, and then we could give a crap what happens to them.

(curious that some insurance covers elective abortion - mine covered lactation consultants (though perhaps that was only because my son was premature) but not abortion, because I was curious and looked.)

Freddie Said:

How good is health insurance in America when a woman has a child? Is this a reason for so many abortions?

We Answered:

America has a program called Medicaid that is available to all pregnant women that are lower income. Medicaid is covers 100% of all medical bills and medication for approved physicians and hospitals. Then medicaid will cover the newborn until it is 18 years old. The medicaid coverage will pay for 100% of all medicine and medical bills. The downside of Medicaid is that it is only available to extremly lower income women and the coverage will only apply to approved (less desirable) physicians. I don't believe that the insurance situation is the reason for african american abortion rates. America is a very interesting place to examine the difference in present day cultures. Morals are at an all time low in our country, and black communities are being primarily driven on dreams of drugs, sports, or music. And, just to be clear, I am a pro-choice, hip-hop loving, female.
