Here’s the reality of the situation: PP gets $500 million from the fed, either through Medicaid or Title X reimbursements as you said, but it doesn’t matter what fedgov entity the monies come from, the fact of the matter is its fed money meaning our money.
The fact of the matter is, for all the abortions that couldn’t be paid for by some of the women, that cost was defrayed by the payments you spoke about earlier, Title X, Medicaid, etc, as well as any services provided to such (financially) poor women like mammograms Pap smears etc.
Here’s the giant rub: the majority of the services that PP provides ARE abortions! That’s why I said the fact they provide other services is a smokescreen for Congress, so they don’t have to be blatant about the reason they are asking for money every year and go to them saying, “we need another $500 million to kill another million babies this year”.
Even though that’s EXACTLY what the BULK of that $500 million is used for. So it’s a smokescreen, the other services they provide. No one in Congress bothers to go through the expenses line by line because again, they don’t want to face the reality of the situation, the reality being they are complicent in the worst Holocaust since, well the Holocaust from WWII itself.
So if Trump’s idea is implimented, then it’s just a simple matter for them to cook their books, to make it look like they do a lot more Pap smears and mammograms than they actually do, or reduce the actual number of abortions they do (this is why it’s so difficult to get actual numbers on them until recently at least) so that they can justify still receiving $500 million just for “other costs”. But of course it will go towards their (unstated) goal of population control through abortions of the most defenseless, the poor and marginalized. Margret Sanger would be proud of their work today I’m sure; gotta keep the number of those “brown babies” low.
Make no mistake there is no “earmarking” that would be effective with such people. We are talking about the same kind of people who butcher babies every year for a living, and sell the more well formed on the black market. Do you really think that kind of person would be honest about not using money from the fedgov if Congress said, “Now play nice with this money, we don’t want it being used for abortions”. Wink wink.
Yeah, riiiiiight...
If you're saying they're commiting fraud and not performing the Pap smears etc., OK, but if they are performing these services how can they have much money left over given the Medicaid reimbursement rate?
Are they reimbursed on a procedure basis or just block granted a bunch of money?
