It protects life by stopping the flow of taxpayer dollars to abortion providers like Planned Parenthood."
She forgot to mention that 24 million people could lose insurance, that states could opt of ensuring coverage for preexisting conditions (around 300,000 non-elderly Hoosiers in District 2 alone could lose coverage), that the bill considers sexual assault, a C-section, and postpartum depression a pre-existing condition, that it cuts taxes for the wealthy, and that it allows states to waive certain health benefits like maternity care, mental health services, and substance abuse treatment.
