Bishops must find, raise their voice against Republican health care proposal

Bishops must find, raise their voice against Republican health care proposal: Distinctly Catholic: Every U.S. bishop who has a hospital in their diocese needs to speak out to the repeal of the Affordable Care Act.

MGB:_First, the bishops are wrong on abortion, not the moral nature of it but its use in the political world as a scam to keep Republican voters in line when they should be voting for their economic interests. Second, the Medical Charities Fund, which limiting Medicaid will cause to grow, funds abortion reimbursements to hospitals when no one else will. Third, Medicaid may only pay 80%, but its the hospitals who are on the hook, not the patients. Finally, the House bill is loaded with the Stupak language on abortion and the bishops will support it for that reason, even though there is little difference between it and current law and regulation.
