Castle to Uninsured: Die Quickly (and forces women to buy abortion insurance separately)
Mike Castle voted to prevent private insurers from covering abortions if they receive public subsidies. Under the Stupid Stupak Amendment, women would have to buy abortion “riders” from their insurers separately.
