This bill never became law.
This bill was proposed in a previous session of Congress. Sessions
of Congress last two years, and at the end of each session all
proposed bills and resolutions that haven't passed are cleared from the books.
Members often reintroduce bills that did not come up for debate
under a new number in the next session.

Sometimes the text of one bill or resolution is incorporated into another, and in those cases the original bill or resolution, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned. |

Jan 22, 2009 10:34 PM - Among the "family planning services" that would be covered (paid for with Medicaid program money), is abortion itself covered? In other words, can an abortion be performed by a qualified surgeon and the bill for the abortion be paid for by medicaid? If so, how much will medicaid pay for an abortion - first, second, and third trimester procedures please. -
