Sterilization for 15 Yr Olds Needs No Parental Consent Under ObamaCare – Effective 8-1-12

Maggie’s Notebook

UPDATE: 8-28-12 12:15 am: A reader asked where to find this in ObamaCare:

When the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act–a.k.a. Obamacare–was enacted in March 2010 it included (in Section 2713) a non-specific requirement that health care plans must provide “additional preventive services” to women….

In developing the regulation to define these “additional preventive services,” HHS commissioned a federally funded committee at the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to recommend what they should to be.

In July 2011, this committee issued a report that said: “The committee recommends for consideration as a preventive service for women: the full range of Food and Drug Administration-approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for women with reproductive capacity.”

The committee report said that “with reproductive capacity” meant “from the time of menarche to menopause.” Menarche is the beginning of menstruation–again, on average, about the age of 12 for American women.

On Aug. 1, 2011, HHS announced that it was adopting the IOM committee’s recommendation almost verbatim. In fact, it added just one word–placing “all” in front of “women with reproductive capacity.”

Thus, the regulation issued by the Health Resources and Services Administration said: “Non-grandfathered plans and issuers are required to provide coverage without cost-sharing consistent with these guidelines in the first plan year (in the individual market, policy year) that begins on or after August 1, 2012. … All Food and Drug Administration approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity.”

HHS said nothing about restricting the provision of these free “preventive services” to women who were 18 or older, or 21 or older, or even 15 or older. The regulation simply said “all women with reproductive capacity.” Source CNS News

    And they say the GOP is waging a war on women?

    Care to guess the race of the bulk of those “sterilized?”

    If Mitt and his peeps have half a brain between them, they’ll run an ad about this during the DNC’s Abortifest. Zoom in on the damning paragraphs and have a disembodied male voice (like a horror-movie undertaker) narrate. It would open some eyes of the still clueless.

    THE GOP HAS A WAR ON WOMEN?

    ObamaCare is evil, sucks, and is a declaration of war on humanity; men, women, and children alike. Whoever is on board with this mentality needs their head examined.

    The old evils never die, they just wait for a generation that hasn’t learned the hard lessons. It only takes the demise of those who fought and won before us – look at the rise of antisemitism and now this disguised brand of eugenics. Look at genocide spreading around the globe. Look at the totalitarian regimes with world conquest as their openly stated goal. It’s obvious why they want us to stop teaching history – or at least, accurate history.

    It’s all happened before, and not so very long ago.

    If you needed any further confirmation that Satan indeed leads the democrat party…

    I went to school with a young woman, 21, who wanted to be sterilized. The first doctor flat-out refused and told her to come back in a few years. She found a willing doc in no time flat, though.

    Replacing the parents after birth with the government is right out of Marx and Engels’ Communist Manifesto?
    It also says loyalties to families needs to be replaced with loyalty to the state.
    This is the govt. behaving as parents. And not very good ones.

    Yeah…no. This portion of the law is only in relation to COVERAGE. The procedure itself still requires that you get parental consent if you’re under the age of 18.

    @but wait…

    wrong. this is the law in oregon. the 15 year old does not need parental consent as long as they understand the nature/consequences/results. oh…and you can sign this even if you don’t speak english. interpretors provided.

    so i ask you BUTTWEIGHT, how many 15 year olds make adult decisions? beside your female cousin you have a crush on.

    Well, they passed it. Now, we find out what’s hidden in it.

    This probably won’t come as a surprise to ‘the secretary’, but should some ‘medical mal-practicitioner’ have the MISFORTUNE, to think they could follow these guidelines when treating ANY of the females in my family, they will shortly be equipped with the true and absolute answer to ‘the eternal question’.

    For the mouth breathing basement dwellers out there: Do not mess with my family. It’s not healthy.
