Congress Plans to Fund Abortions With New Medicaid-Like Program
Congressional Democrats are reportedly planning to use their $3.5 trillion “human capital” infrastructure package to create a new federal healthcare program that would work around the leadership of pro-life red states which have rejected Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion.
Democrats are likely to present their proposal as a way to get “needed” healthcare coverage to Americans being “held back” from the benefits of Obamacare by Republican state lawmakers.
Pro-life critics, on the other hand, are decrying the plan as an expensive and underhanded way to finance abortion-on-demand in states where the unborn are the most protected, while also bypassing longstanding bipartisan rules like the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars to fund abortions.
