Obama declares war on women

[J.E.D]

I'm assuming you conservatives said the same thing about the Bush administration when they told Perry the same thing in 2005?

Texas Loses Entire Women's Health Program Over Planned Parenthood Law
HHS spokesperson told reporters on Thursday that this was not Obama's decision and that the administration's hands are tied on the issue. “Medicaid law is very clear; a state may not restrict patients’ choice of providers of services like mammograms and other cancer screenings, if those providers are qualified to deliver care covered by Medicaid. Patients, not state government officials, should be able to choose the doctors and other health care providers that are best for them and their families. In 2005, Texas requested this same authority to restrict patients’ choices, and the Bush Administration did not grant it to them either.”

And 2008?

But back in 2008, he tried his luck with President Bush. Perry’s request asked for two big things: authority to implement enrollment caps in Medicaid and additional federal dollars to establish a “Texas pool to help low-income people buy private insurance.”

The Bush administration denied the waiver, arguing that Perry’s Medicaid reforms were too restrictive. From the federal government’s August 7, 2008 letter to the Texas Health and Human Service Commission:

The proposal to include a benefit limit of $25,000 on the parents/caretaker relatives, is one that cannot exist under Medicaid for this group. In addition, there is no precedent under CMS-approved demonstrations to approve an annual benefit limit as low as $25,000 even for an expansion population.

Can you prove them wrong?

 

[ladyliberal]

Here ya go, Nazi:

Yeah, John Locke and John Stuart Mill were Nazis. Nope, Hitler was a doctrinaire, nativist piece of crap like yourself.

Since we have somehow meandered into a discussion of Nazi policies on elective abortion, it's worth noting that they were more similar to those of koshergrl than those of Dick Tuck (Shaping Abortion Discourse: Democracy and the Public Sphere in Germany and ... - Myra Marx Ferree - Google Books). The Nazis, despite forcing abortions of pregnancies they saw as undesirable (a policy that I assume koshergrl and Dick Tuck would both deplore), criminalized elective abortions of most pregnancies, which I presume to be the preferred policy of koshergrl.

Of course, just because the Nazis did something does not necessarily mean that it was wrong, but koshergrl is incorrect to suggest that Dick Tuck's preferred policy of legal abortion is one that aligns with Nazi ideology.

The information comes from an article in the NYT and Texas Tribune, TP is merely republishing the article in the context of the story being reported.

Can you prove them wrong?

Consequently, no, he can’t.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Hmmm....that's quite a mature retort you have there. However, you failed to prove me wrong. Would you like to counter my source with a legitimate source, and prove that the federal gov't DOESN'T provide 90% of funds to TX's health program, or would you prefer to just continue deflecting with childish responses? Come on, Windbag, show me that your name isn't the most fitting on this board and give me some substance instead of a bunch of wind.

You want proof that you are wrong? It is actually pretty simple, and I will do it assuming that your link is 100% correct.

Even though the federal government supplies 905 of that programs financing it is no where near to providing 80% of funds for all women's health care in Texas. The fund in question targets women in the extremely poor rural counties in Texas, and it makes up such a small part of Texas' budget that they can actually do without federal funding to carry it on by cutting other spending.

That, dear sir, makes you wrong. And the fact that you totally missed my joke makes you either stupid, or a person with no sense of humor.

In other words, you want it both ways. You can't admit that you're wrong, so you have to come up with some convoluted BS to try and weasel your way out of it. BTW, your joke? I got it. It was a childish attempt at deflection. The fact that you had to resort to it shows me that you're incapable of seriously debating anything. Thanks for proving that your name is quite fitting, Windbag. Carry on, clown.

In what way am I wrong? The US currently borrows over $40 for every $100 it spends. That proves that the federal government does not pay for 80% of the money it spends. That was a joke I used to illustrate how stupid it was for you to argue that it pays for 80% of women's health care in Texas rather than trying to teach you simple math. You refused to drop the issue, so I explained how $36 million is not even close to 80% of women's health in Texas.

Tell me something, what does you still trying to defend that absurd statement mean?

Gotta love it when the shoe is on the other foot.

The federal government on Thursday began making good on its promise to cut off all funding for the Texas Medicaid Women's Health Program amid an escalating fight over the state's ban on funding for clinics affiliated with abortion providers. In a letter to state officials, Cindy Mann, director of the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said her agency regretted the move. "We had hoped not to be at this point. But, unfortunately, as we've made clear to the state at all points in this process, we don't have a choice," Mann said on a conference call with reporters after sending the letter...
The standoff stems from a law passed by the Legislature last summer and took effect Wednesday. It bars state funding for clinics affiliated with abortion providers. The Obama administration had pledged to stop funding the Women's Health Program because federal law requires women to be able to choose any qualified clinic. Gov. Rick Perry counters that states have the right, under federal law, to determine qualified providers in the program. The program provides care to about 130,000 women between the ages of 18 and 44 earning less than $20,000 a year or less than $41,000 for a family of four — with federal funds paying 90 percent of its cost and Texas covering the rest. Mann said that last year it cost about $41 million, and about $34 million of that came from Washington...Planned Parenthood issued a statement criticizing the actions taken by Perry and the Texas Legislature.

How odd that's it's lookin' (more) like....

[Soggy in NOLA]

Why does Obama hate women???​

Is he a femmephobe????

On the contrary. He has two daughters and while you may not like him, he is still a father. And he doesn't want the fringe fuckups in this country to deprive them of their rights. Make sense? Hello...???? (Thumping on empty skull) Hmmm...sounds empty in there.

What rights? Free condoms?



You fuckers are priceless.

War On Women: Feds Cut Off Women's Health Funding to Texas - Guy Benson

Actually, sounds like the state is to blame on this one. Why do they think they don't have to follow Federal law?

Why do the Feds feel they can constantly violate the 10th Amendment. I hope the State of TX tells the Feds to take a flying leap and administers the program as they see fit. If the Fed withdraws support, that will give the State the impetus needed to trim back their State programs, as must eventually happen.

Considering the woman he has the closest and most consistent contact with, HELL YES! You'd be afraid, too. That's one scary bitch!!!

His daughters are being punished, perhaps to an even greater extent, by the most virulent and wide-spread STD to ever infect this Nation, their father. And if he's referring to imparting his personal morals and values to his offspring, then they are already the most immoral and valueless souls lost on this world, because he has no morals or values. As long as he gets what he wants, anything goes. Now that's good morals and values, alrighty!
