Catholic health care leader: Obamacare replacement is a “pro-life disaster”

Sister Carol Keehan, the head of the nation’s largest network of Catholic hospitals, condemned the Republican-sponsored plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, calling the measure “anti-life” and citing concerns over how the measure would affect pregnant women and young mothers.

During the original debate over the affordable care act, aka Obama care 7 years ago, this woman was a straighout stooge for the Democrats, giving cover as a loud Catholic in favor of the plan. Now she brings up a pro-life perspective? Oh please spare us this nonsense. I'll introduce you to some of my clients who had coverage they were very happy with, but was cancelled because of Obama care mandates.

I sympathise with Sister Keehan, and wonder if the USCCB has any regrets now about the unceasing attacks it waged on Obamacare over the last several years. If Trumpcare should come to pass, the American Bishops should examine their own consciences in light of the role they played in making it happen by discrediting the 'Obamacare.'.
