Mini-Post: The Just Don't Care!

The Republicans don't care about the harm they are doing to people, they don't care as they follow their evangelical Christian ideology. Mother Jones writes about the budget that the Republicans just passed, (Beside breaking their promise not to cut Medicaid.).
In addition to the largest cuts to Medicaid in US history, the bill contains provisions that have alarmed health care advocates since they first showed up in earlier versions of the bill. Among them is a plan seeking to defund Planned Parenthood, which the organization warns will affect its ability to provide critical services, including pap smears, cancer screenings, and birth control.

But on Thursday, two last-minute additions went even further: The reconciliation bill that was passed now seeks to ban Affordable Care Act health care plans from covering abortion and gender-affirming care for all Medicaid patients, including adults, after initially proposing to ban care for just minors.

Together, the 11th-hour additions represent an even more extreme version of Trump’s domestic agenda. With nearly one in seven Americans covered through ACA marketplace plans since 2014, the impacts of the proposed abortion ban would be “catastrophic” if passed by the full House and Senate, Reps. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), co-chairs of the Congressional Reproductive Freedom Caucus, said in a statement. “Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans’ claims that they will not ban abortion nationwide were always a lie. Overnight, the receipts came in,” they added. “We will continue to call out this attack on the people for exactly what it is: a Big Bogus Backdoor abortion ban.”
Trump... the Liar-In-Chief... you can't trust anything he says. He will lie right to your face!
