If You Are A Republican, Guess What’s Covered Under the RNC Insurance Plan?

Abortion.

(No further comment from me required)

NEXT MORNING UPDATE:  Okay, not anymore.  That was quick.

But Steve Benen notes:

But does that actually "settle" the matter? The new RNC policy, apparently, is to have insurance through Cigna, opting out of abortion coverage. But let's not lose sight of the original fungibility problem — the RNC is taking Republican money and giving it to an insurance company through premiums. That company will then use its pool of money to pay for abortion services, not for RNC employees, but for other customers.

In other words, the Republican National Committee will still indirectly subsidize abortions, every time it writes a check to Cigna.

As does Focus On The Family.
