The Obama Administration has <a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/blog\/obama-threatens-to-cut-off-indiana-healthcare-funds\/\">threatened to cut off funds of low income families&#8217; health care<\/a> if the state doesn&#8217;t restore funding to Planned Parenthood;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So I guess the administration is bound and determined to kill poor people one way or the other &#8211; 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. <\/p>\n<p>But, hey, at least we can dance in the Jefferson Memorial&#8230;we have that goin&#8217; for us.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to a link from ROS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month, Indiana voted to stop providing tax payer money to Planned Parenthood which provides about &hellip; <a title=\"Health care as a political weapon\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=23810\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Health care as a political weapon<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,88],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-health-care-debate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23810\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
