National health care-part four

As I write this the national health care plan seems to be stalled out in Washington, this is probably a good thing for us as the bill seems to be quickly growing into a huge monster. The problem now seems to center around the abortion issue, well, as usual, never fear, for I, have a plan and it's actually pretty simple.
Unless I'm mistaken, Planned parenthood is the main abortion service provider in the U.S.,the people on the right feel that the Government shouldn't pay for abortions with their tax dollars, and they're absolutely right( the left feel that they shouldn't have to pay for private (read religious) schools with their tax dollars in the form of vouchers, they are also right. It's simple, add a donation slot on to our tax return forms, If you feel that abortion services should be payed for by government funds, then, feel free to check yes in this box and fill in the amount that You would like to contribute to the fund out of Your Income tax return, these funds, along with private or corporate donations, would be the only Government funds, used for this purpose. Those who are morally or religiously opposed to abortion services could then be assured that their money is not used for something that they don't agree with, and, of course, the other side would be able to put their money where their mouth is. Come to think of it, we could also use this same concept for at least two other sometimes controversial issues, mainly, government funding for the National Endowment for the arts( anybody else remember the uproar about Robert Maplethorpe's art a few years back?)and also for Private school vouchers. This is not an Original concept,we already have a box on our tax forms for campaign funds( which I never check off, they take entirely too much of our money as it is!!)
So, there you Have it, My Ideas on National Health care, let's just hope that our "friends" in Washington actually get a look at this before they drag us all screaming over a cliff.

Have a happy Holiday, no Matter which one you like( I prefer Merry Christmas Myself) and stay frosty, see you on the Beach!!
