Senator William "HMO" Frist

[Racenut20]

Would anyone know if the Frist family hospitals or clinics perform abortion procedures of any type?

1. Of course they do

The only ones I've ever heard of that refuse to perform abortions are the Catholic hospitals and clinics (and even then, it depends on the doctor you get). Why would a for-profit system turn down that kind of money? Abortions get serious billing, since almost all insurance plans cover it (except for Catholic school teachers's plans: mine wouldn't even pay for a procedure that rendered me infertile, even to save my life--that's what it said) and many without coverage will pay whatever they're told to.

I'm sure his defense is that he would never perform one himself, which is good since he's a heart surgeon.

2. Off topic

What is that creepy thing Frist does with his hands? When he talks, he waves them around frantically.

I swear, the guy reminds me of Crispin Glover!
