Dr. Bucshon, House Force President’s Hand on ObamaCare Repeal, Planned Parenthood Funding

3

 

On Wednesday, the House passed a budget reconciliation package that dismantles ObamaCare and defunds Planned Parenthood. This legislation will reach the President’s desk for the first time ever.

 

“ObamaCare isn’t living up to the president’s promises and families are worse off because of that failure. Meanwhile, the country’s largest abortion provider still receives taxpayer dollars, despite the organization’s questionable handling and possible sale of fetal tissue. With this vote, Congress finally sends a bill defunding Planned Parenthood and dismantling ObamaCare to President Obama’s desk after years of being stalled by Senate Democrats.

 

“As a physician, I want every American to have access to quality, affordable healthcare. I support this bill because it puts us on a path to healthcare reform that empowers patients, not bureaucrats. It also diverts money originally directed to Planned Parenthood to community health centers that do not participate in abortions, but provide more comprehensive healthcare services for women. At its core, this bill is about improving our healthcare system for everyone and protecting the most vulnerable among us.

 

“The president now has a clear choice to make, which he and his allies must defend to the American people.”

  1. As a physician Larry made and became a multi-millionaire. While the Affordable Care Act has numerous flaws it is a step in the right direction to insure the here-to-fore uninsured. We need healthcare reform but Larry’s party have not presented an alternative. In fact, outside of fear tactics they have done little else. Where are the programs to benefit your district Larry? You have given yourself a pay raise but not those retirees on social security…Why? Where are the high paying jobs Larry? Where are the social programs that will help your district rise above poverty level? You have done little except pound the drum of fear. Oh, and Larry there was no sale of fetal tissue. The author admitted he lied regarding this issue but you still want to beat that drum of fear hoping to grab some votes for what is now known as untruths.

    • You are so right, Paul, the fetuses are free. Of course, the shipping, handling, voluntary contributions to the Planned Parenthood Executive Sports Car And Vacation Home Fund and Democratic Party Victory Fund will cost several hundred to several thousand, but the fetuses are free. Thanks for all you do in helping to combat right wing extremists from protecting these allegedly innocent babies.

  2. What a meaningless little post, Paul. Perhaps you have fed at the welfare trough too long? Your call for “social programs” tells all about the origin of your socialist whine.
