Bart Stupak, a Democrat from Michigan, reshaped the legislative landscape when he offered an amendment banning the sale of insurance policies covering abortion through the proposed national health insurance exchange — or to women who receive health care subsidies from the federal government.

Stupak's proposal, which would also bar any public health insurance plan from covering abortion procedures, passed the House on Saturday over objections from a majority of Democratic lawmakers, who voted against the amendment.

Supporters of abortion rights were outraged - especially House Democratic women, many of whom view Stupak's legislation as a betrayal of a key Democratic commitment.


Если читать это буквально, то получается, что женщины, получающие хоть какие-то субсидии, просто не могут купить страховку, покрывающую аборты, вообще нигде. Ну а те, кто не получают, те могут, но только не на предлагаемой страховой бирже, а по-старинке, т.е. теоретически дороже.
