PROVIDENCE, R.I. — His family plan through BlueCross BlueShield costs $494 a month, and Barth Bracy says that if he could, he would keep it.

But with the company saying it will cancel the plan this fall, and the plans he can afford not to his liking, Bracy says he has no choice but to plead his case in court.

In what may be the first lawsuit of its kind in the nation, Bracy — executive director of the Rhode Island Right to Life Committee and a resident of Dayville, Conn. — is suing the federal and state officials who administer the Affordable Care Act in his home state, alleging violations of his constitutional rights, as well as federal and state laws protecting the freedom of religion.

what is this fee they keep referring to? Is it labeled abortion fee or something?

Oh wait...

If a health care plan in the exchange covers abortion services beyond life
endangerment, rape, and incest:
 If a health care plan chooses to cover abortion services beyond those currently permitted
under the Hyde Amendment, the issuer of the plan is prohibited from using federal subsidies
to pay for those abortion services and must follow ACA’s segregation requirements.

The Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) cannot include any coverage of abortion as part of the essential benefits
package required to be covered by health care plans. Section 1303(b)(1)(A)(i).

How about I sue not to pay the fee for covering all the heart attacks men get?
