Michigan about to require women to buy “rape insurance”

November 29th, 2013

A legislative ballot initiative to ban abortion coverage in health insurance plans and require women to buy what opponents call “rape insurance” was approved by Michigan’s Secretary of State this week and is expected by many to become law because it cannot be vetoed by Gov. Rick Snyder (R).

On Monday, the Michigan Secretary of State certified that the group Michigan Right to Life had enough signature for the legislature to take up the measure. The group turned in 315,477 signatures, but only 258,088 — or 3 percent of the state’s voters — were needed. Snyder vetoed a similar bill last year, but Michigan’s constitution does not give him the authority to sign or veto legislative initiatives.

The initiative would require that all health plans — not just plans under the Affordable Care Act — be stripped of any abortion coverage, even in the cases of rape or incest. Women would have to purchase a separate rider to receive abortion coverage.

For those who are asking how this is possible/legal, the process is called an “indirect initiated state statute”…..

  Actually it's parts of Amerika that is getting ridiculous. There are still some communities and states that are just saying no to Federal money, as this is the root of this Amerika manipulation (which seems to always benefit the campaign coffer donors in some way).

Just when you thought your insurance hike under Obamacare was ridiculous, this gets added on to your list of "required expenses." In cost accounting, this would be called a "fixed cost."
