ObamaCare takes Planned
Parenthood abortion biz to a whole new level
LifeNews.com – Susan T.

President Obama’s health
care law, ObamaCare, takes the federal government’s relationship with Planned
Parenthood to a whole new level. On August 15, the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) announced that Planned Parenthood affiliates in Iowa, Montana, and New Hampshire will be
funded to serve as ObamaCare “Navigators.” Their combined funding will total
over $655,000.
By choosing these Planned
Parenthood affiliates to be Navigators in the federally facilitated Exchanges,
these Planned Parenthood affiliates will now have the seal of approval of the
federal government as an entity that consumers can contact for help in applying
for coverage.
Moreover, HHS plans to list
the Navigators (e.g., Planned Parenthood) in each federally facilitated
Exchange on HHS’ official government website as a resource to help consumers.
[78 Fed. Reg. 42848].
And then there are the
ObamaCare “certified application counselor organizations.” What are certified
application counselor organizations, you might ask? You won’t find the term
anywhere in the massive ObamaCare law.
The federally facilitated
Exchanges will designate certain organizations – community health centers,
health care providers, social service agencies, etc. – to be certified
application counselor organizations. (A state Exchange can do so also). These
organizations will in turn certify their staff members, as well as their
volunteers, to be counselors who will assist applicants in completing their
applications for health insurance and for federal assistance programs. The
organizations and counselors are not expected to be paid by the Exchanges.
