Religious Entities Buying Operating Rights To Hospitasl/Stealth Attack On "Repro" Rights.
There is a stealth attack on women's reproduction rights in the health care system. Religious entities are buying operating rights on hospitals and pharmacies. Such agreements allow these entities to deny publicly legal reproduction services which includes sterilization, birth control and other reproductive services.
Not only do these entities profit from such agreements, they also pay NO taxes on the profits they receive. What appear to be public hospitals are actually operated by religious orders who can limit care to religiously approved services. Such a facility can prohibit a doctor from doing an abortion even to save the life of the mother.
There is no link to this. Just learned about this situation during a recent conversation about health care. It seems that in the Denver, Colorado area most hospitals have outsourced their operating rights to entities connected to the Catholic Church. Reproduction services are limited in such cases as are other kinds of care.
Anti choice entities are most likely pursuing rights in many pharmacies and can make the purchase of birth control impossible.
This trend in hospital services is fairly well hidden and not known to the public.
The question is how prominent is this practice at the national level. And despite what SCOTUS says and what is legal such agreements are legal and denial of certain services is also legal. It is a way of limiting family planning services.
We may be seeing the infiltration of our public hospital system. And religion may well be playing a large role in health care. So if you are a non believer your ability to choose will be limited whether you like it or nor.
