From: MJ	1 Recommendation of 224729

"UNDER THE CATEGORY OF "DID YOU KNOW?"----MJ The Examiner is a great source of news------what I learned today from the Examiner, April 15th Issue---- In an article entitled, "Governor McDonnell proposes restriction on state funding for abortion" (Page 3) I learned that--------- "Planned Parenhood is a qualified Medicaid provider of abortion services allowed under federal law," said Governor McDonnell's spokeswoman Stacey Honson. "By Federal law, states cannot prevent a specific group from being a Medicaid provider." According to the article------- Virginia Planned Parenthood receives about $32,000 a year in state Medicaid reimbursements, -------etc. My question is --------- Why should Planned Parenthood be getting any funds from "Medicaid". Isn't Medicaid funded through Social Security---------are there other states in which Planned Parenthood is getting money via being a "qualified Medicaid provideer" and sopping up vital resources from Medicare and Social Security? Why should Medicare $ via Medicaid be used to fund Planned Parenthood or any other advocacy, lobbying organization. Is this a misuse of Medicare $ at a time when Social Security recipients are being threatened with a cut in their Social Security? If Congress wants to fund Planned Parenthood then discuss it openly and vote on how much they will fund------don't let Planned Parenthood in the backdoor through Medicaid. mj
