The Health and Human Services Department rejected changes in Indiana's Medicaid plan Wednesday, saying it illegally bans funding for Planned Parenthood, and sought to make clear that a similar fate awaits other states that pass legislation barring any qualified health care provider.
In a letter sent to Indiana's Medicaid director, Medicaid Administrator Donald M. Berwick said Indiana's plan will improperly bar beneficiaries from receiving services. Federal law requires Medicaid beneficiaries to be able to obtain services from any qualified provider.
"Medicaid programs may not exclude qualified health care providers from providing services that are funded under the program because of a provider's scope of practice," Berwick wrote in a letter to Patricia Cassanova, the director of Indiana's office of Medicaid Policy and Planning. "Such a restriction would have a particular effect on beneficiaries' ability to access family planning providers."

Obama’s illegal.
FUBO.
so is Dr. Berwick
he was recess appointed. he won’t be confirmed by Senate.
Wait just a minute. I thought ‘illegal’ was recognized by the Left to no longer be operational, a politically incorrect word.
I guess it’s only acceptable when they trot it out.
Basically everything he doesn’t like he decrees to be illegal.
So what? Obama ignores laws he doesn’t like. Indiana should do the same.
He wants to shorten sentences for crack heads as well.

“Obama Administration Calls Indiana’s Ban of Planned Parenthood Illegal. “
But people that cross the border without permission aren’t?
My first reaction is to tell Berwick to go hump a cactus.
My second reaction is to seize all federal property and tax receipts.
My third reaction is to give the federal fascists 24 hours to leave the state or face arrest and treason trials, with hanging for a guilty verdict.
But that’s just me. I’m sure other Freepers have better ideas.
What medical care to they provide?
They dont do abortions but do referrals for them I hear
again, what medical care do they provide, I cant see any?
Are they claiming that giving out condoms is medical care
much like ACORN advised the young hooker and pimp how to scam
the system?
nice message there lefty
Dr. Berserk.
I just want to loin in that baby killing is murder and murderers should not plan anything— much less some one’s parenthood. This is war and we are fighting for babies with absolute zero tolerance for murder.
I like YOUR ideas.
Obama, Sibileus, Berwick. There aren’t three people in the world any deeper into Planned Parenthood’s pocket.
>But that’s just me. I’m sure other Freepers have better ideas.
LOL — Well, here’s my “if I were Governor” shot at the Fed Gov: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2698298/posts
{And the best thing about it is that it forces them to either admittedly & overtly act contrary to the Constitution or to swiftly and violently secure the border.}
Let's see if Obama and this Berwick gal are willing to cut off their own peeps.
Bet they are!
Skru what they think.
It is absolutely time to reject these people.
It would be just like those sanctuary cities that refuse to deal with illegal aliens. So we give them the finger.
Planned PArenthood is a private company.
It has no legal “right” to any taxpayer money.
FUBO
