That ObamaCare Hurts Women is No Fluke

While the nation’s media are intentionally diverting attention to the Sandra Fluke shiny object side show, there’s a real crisis in women’s health care developing. Unfortunately for the left it’s a disaster of their own making. And it’s another reason why ObamaCare must go.

Some of the following information you may already know. Some you may not. But there is but one inescapable conclusion: The Obama Administration is disemboweling poor women’s health care–and apparently setting up the Republicans for the blame.

Here are some numbers for you provided me by a member of an influential group of physicians who just came back from Capitol Hill to try to talk some sense into Congress.



Two thirds of services to women on Medicaid are:
1. Pregnancy Care
2. Preventive Care including:

  • Contraception
  • Sterilization
  • Abortion
  • Breast cancer screening and treatment
  • Cervical cancer screening and treatment

At the same time the Obama Administration is planning to roughly double the number of people on Medicaid from 17 million to 32 million people.

In 2013 there will be a $360 bil cut in Medicaid.

ObamaCare will take an existing program helping poor women obtain medical care including all of the above, cut funding to it and add twice as many people.

The Obama Administration is planning $10 billion in cuts to graduate medical education–residencies for the most part.

In other words: He’s cutting the number of doctors.

Current levels of OB-GYN’s –doctors who specialize in women’s care are barely being replaced by medical students in the pipeline. Those will be cut as in every other specialty.

Doing the simple math:

Medicaid — $360 Bil Funding + 2(Medicaid Patients) — Fewer Doctors =

Fewer doctors with more patients and less funding for care–including women’s health care.

In simplest terms: Under ObamaCare you may have insurance but you will have rationed care and no doctor.
