Through the expansion of Medicaid and a number of other
provisions intended to drive both access and affordability in to healthcare
insurance, beginning on January 1, 2014 all Americans were mandated to have
healthcare insurance as stated in the ObamaCare law. Also stated in the ObamaCare law, all
insurance plans must include an essential healthcare benefits package of which includes
comprehensive healthcare for women.
As it is illegal to utilize federal monies to fund abortions, Planned Parenthood essentially became obsolete when the ObamaCare mandated for all to have healthcare insurance kicked in, at least from a federal funds standpoint. So why is it then, that there is such a pushback, from Democrats, to keep funding in place for Planned Parenthood, so much so that they would allow the government be shutdown rather than end funding of a redundant program?
By funding Planned Parenthood, Democrats are sending a clear message that it is okay to penalize taxpayers for the failure of certain individuals to comply with a federal mandate to obtain healthcare insurance. If not this then the only other explanation is that Democrats are conceding that ObamaCare has failed in its purpose to provide access to affordable healthcare to the tens of thousands of women they {Democrats} claim are still in need of the services provided by Planned Parenthood. It has to be one or the other so, which one is it?
Correct me if I am wrong but, as the vast majority of women who utilize Planned Parenthood are low income, by funding Planned Parenthood, taxpayers are now paying twice for the same FREE woman’s healthcare services being utilized by tens of thousands of women. And Democrats think we should be okay with this? Are you people starting to see what the real problem is here?
