Seriously. Birth costs A LOT of money. The average household can hardly afford the crazy prices we have in America, and the gop wants to change medicaid coverage for births.. Why?
Seriously. Looking for some consistency - do you want people to be able to have kids, or do you want more abortions sought out because a birth can literally bankrupt someone if no aid is given?
The gop seriously makes me frustrated sometimes.

I think that you might be misunderstanding.
The new bill only removes the REQUIREMENT that health plans include maternity. It does not say that you can not get a health plan that includes maternity.
This is a good move. Obamacare had a stupid requirement that ALL plans include maternity. This meant that a single man or an older couple would need to pay for a plan that includes maternity. With the new policy, there will be less expensive plans available that do not include maternity coverage for those that do not need it. We will have a choice again. This is just putting things back the way that they were before.
