...abortion. By using a new federally managed marketplace for purchasing health insurance - the so-called exchange - uninsured consumers would be able to choose not to join the public plan in favor of a plan that does not cover abortion services. Opponents of abortion, including Stupak, want language that would prohibit any private insurance company that accepts federal funds from offering to policyholders abortions other than those already eligible under Medicaid...

...incentive to nudge sicker or older individuals or small groups toward the exchange, skewing the risk pool there and driving up premiums. "You just have to cherry-pick a little bit to be really profitable," says Pollitz. Both the House and Senate plans call for regulations and rules to prohibit this. But, as Jacob Hacker, a health-policy expert at Yale University, puts it, "The real concern comes down to having adequate resources for enforcement.

Buried in the 850-page House health-reform draft is a provision that could in effect ban further construction of doctor-owned, for-profit specialty hospitals and prohibit existing ones from expanding. (The provision would prevent new facilities from receiving any Medicare payments and would limit changes to current facilities.) Senators Charles Grassley and Max Baucus, who lead the body's powerful Finance Committee, have been vocal critics of the doctor-owned specialty-hospital model and the industry expects similar language to be included in any upcoming Senate health-reform bill as well.
