Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the pre-existing conditions part of the health care bill hasn't gone into effect yet, right? It only goes into effect for children at first, and then for everyone by 2014.
As for abortions, I can understand why the government would willingly take the position of not paying for/subsidizing them. While I am pro-choice, at the same time it is an optional operation. MSP here in British Columbia doesn't cover abortion, and that doesn't seem to be the source of any major problems. If memory serves, the healthcare reform bill doesn't exclude abortions after rape or incest or where the woman's life is in danger.
