Hopefully, Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats will be able to knock down Paul Ryan’s new egregious plan to defund Planned Parenthood.
You might think the incredibly embarrassing slap-down of Paul Ryan over his disgusting Trumpcare disaster would have taught him a lesson about interfering with people’s health care...but rather he seems to be doubling down on his stupidity and ruthlessness.
But then a guy like Ryan, who has been on the public dole all of his life, from his early teen years to his adult life has no respect for the government or for the people who gave him a permanent career in politics receiving the best insurance coverage every tax paying American citizen can give to him and his family.
Speaker Paul Ryan said there was “a better way to eliminate federal spending on Planned Parenthood than attaching it to a must-pass measure next month to keep the government open,”
“Rather than include a ‘defund Planned Parenthood’ provision on the upcoming bill to fund the federal government, the Wisconsin Republican said Republicans still plan to use their budget reconciliation framework to overhaul health care to stop federal money from flowing to the women’s health service provider.”
Ryan: “We think reconciliation is the tool because that gets it in law. That’s the way to go.”
Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.), a member of the hard-line conservative House Freedom Caucus which helped sink the bill, said he hoped “at least part of” the reconciliation bill would be used to defund Planned Parenthood.
