Under this present proposal, methinks if I was an insurance company looking to capture over 50% of the market I would offer a health insurance package that included abortion coverage as a "free bonus" (perhaps "for anyone who signs up before Midnight, 2050! Operators are waiting for your call!") 

I would also offer the "free bonus" abortion coverage for men and for Catholic Priests, with maybe an additional "enticement": "For you men - especially you Ordained Men of the Cloth! - act today and receive - in addition to this abortion coverage - free pregnancy coverage that includes 100% reimbursement for all services provided relative to your next pregnancy!"

As much as I detest this "Health Insurance Industry Profit Enhancement & Protection Act" that has been presented in place of legitimate Health Care Reform, I will nevertheless be compelled to purchase product from these private industry enterprises to gain health care coverage. Given this unfortunate reality, I would be inclined to respond favorably to such a "free market" opportunity to stick it in the eye of those religious zealots who would now abort health care reform altogether to further promote their political agenda. 

Best of all, it would provide opportunity for women to acquire abortion coverage without the onerous task of writing separate checks to secure their right to an abortion should such a medical procedure ever be deemed necessary in consultation with her physician.

On a related note: I would suggest that the next Member of Congress who receives a visit from a lobbying contingent of the Council of Bishops present to these same bishops a bill for all the past taxes that were not paid by the Catholic Church in accordance with their tax-exempt status. If they wish to play in the political arena they should be compelled to pay the price of admission, which is the taxes paid by the rest of us.
