Lipinski Continues His Misinformation Campaign Regarding ObamaCare and Abortions
Your taxpayer funded abortions under ObamaCare
Source: lipinski.house.gov/September 16, 2014:
Dan Lipinski: “Today, we learned that the GAO has identified 1,036 plans that pay for abortions and do not have a separate fund free of taxpayer dollars, making it absolutely clear that taxpayer funds are being used to pay for abortions under the ACA. This suggests the Administration is allowing health insurance companies to even ignore the accounting gimmick that they put into the law in order to gain support.”
Lipinski continues: “I voted against the ACA in part because of the inclusion of taxpayer funding for abortion. Now we see that provisions that were included in the law in regard to taxpayer funding of abortion and the promise of every American having the ability to purchase a plan on the exchange that didn’t cover abortion have not been implemented. All of this is completely unacceptable.”
Lipinski’s Misinformation Revealed:
CNS News reports (9/18/14): “Wednesday, Sept. 17, Congressman Dan Lipinski voted for the continuing resolution to fund the government, which includes funding for ObamaCare, and thereby abortion." CNS continues: “Following a Capitol Hill press conference on Thursday, CNSNews.com asked House members, “Is it not true that members who voted for the CR, which fully funds implementation of Obamacare, voted to implement a program that funds abortion? Rep. Lipinski said, “Well, there’s a lot of issues dealt with in there, so we just continued the funding that was in place already…”
It’s a shame that Dan Lipinski even uses his official government web page to spew misinformation to the voters of the 3rd Congressional District. Dan Lipinski was in-fact a leader (in his own words), in bringing about ObamaCare (see image below), and in fact, he voted OVER 10-times to keep all of ObamaCare, including its language on abortion, hidden slush-funds, taxes, regulations, mandates and fees.
Dan Lipinski says one thing to his constituents and does another when voting in Congress. Maybe this is why Crain’s Chicago Business News labeled him a flip-flop representative.
