Health care as a political weapon
Last month, Indiana voted to stop providing tax payer money to Planned Parenthood which provides about half of the abortions in the state. The Obama Administration has threatened to cut off funds of low income families’ health care if the state doesn’t restore funding to Planned Parenthood;
The question facing the Obama administration is whether they are willing to leave low-income families without health care to punish Indiana. Last week the White House and HHS ordered Indiana to reinstate funds for Planned Parenthood.
Where do things go from here? Possibilities range from nothing happening at all and the defunding standing to the Obama administration withholding all federal Medicaid funds from Indiana.
So I guess the administration is bound and determined to kill poor people one way or the other – either by abortion or by cutting off their medicaid and medicare. I guess we can expect this level of extortion if they get their way with single-payer universal health care.
But, hey, at least we can dance in the Jefferson Memorial…we have that goin’ for us.

Just goes to prove that this was never about healthcare. It’s about power and control, plain and simple.
It also proved that Dems don’t give a SH*T about the poor. They’re just votes to “buy”
Personally, I think (hope) IN calls their bluff. Another nail in the progressive’s coffin.
Blackmail. It’s the Chicago way. It’s what’s for breakfast.
Welcome to Obamanation.
Thing being, Planned Parenthood won’t lose a dime. There’re funds available for the POTUS to dispense at his leisure. The abortionists will retain their lifestyle as before, when they prevented others from living any lifestyle.
Just the WH playing whack-a-mole with Daniels and any other GOP candidate who favors this measure.
Hmmm cut off health care funds in Indiana, cut off flights into and out of Texas? I do believe I’m beginning to see a common thread on the part of the gubermint here.
