The White House may withhold federal funds to California if the state refuses to end a controversial insurance policy regarding abortion. In a statement, Health and Human Services Director Roger Severino argued California’s rule, which requires insurance providers to cover abortions, violates federal law.Nancy is undoubtedly praying for a resolution, but I don't know if Lucifer can help her here.
Severino said states receiving funding from the department “can’t discriminate against health plans that decline to cover abortions.” He added the rule also forces anti-abortion Americans to pay into plans that cover the procedure....
....the policy violates the Weldon Amendment, which prohibits federal funding to states that discriminate against anti-abortion health care providers....
By the way, this warning is a red flag to New York and Illinois which have similar policies.
That's a helluvalotta Federal cost-savings.
