Le sénateur démocrate américain Ben Nelson aurait obtenu que la réforme du système de santé comporte une disposition interdisant
l'utilisation de fonds publics pour financer les procédures d'avortement. Malheureusement, cette disposition ne serait que de la poudre aux yeux (cf commentaire).

Malheureusement, contrairement à l’amendement Stupak adopté par la Chambre, cette disposition (désignée ci-dessous sous le terme “manager’s amendment”) n’est que de la poudre aux yeux.
Communiqué du NRLC: http://www.nrlc.org/AHC/Release121909.html
The manager’s amendment is light years removed from the Stupak-Pitts Amendment that was approved by the House of Representatives on November 8 by a bipartisan vote of 240-194. The new abortion language solves none of the fundamental abortion-related problems with the Senate bill, and it actually creates some new abortion-related problems.
NRLC will score the upcoming roll call votes on cloture on the Reid manager’s amendment, and on the underlying bill, as votes in favor of legislation to allow the federal government to subsidize private insurance plans that cover abortion on demand, to oversee multi-state plans that cover elective abortions, and to empower federal officials to mandate that private health plans cover abortions even if they do not accept subsidized enrollees, among other problems.
In addition, if the final bill produced by a House-Senate conference committee does not contain the Stupak-Pitts Amendment, NRLC will score the House and Senate votes on the conference report as votes to allow federal mandates and subsidies for coverage of elective abortion. Unless the Stupak-Pitts Amendment is included in the final bill, and the new pro-abortion provisions dropped, a significant number of House members who voted for H.R. 3962 will not vote to pass the final legislation.
