(MSC News)--Repealing ObamaCare while defunding Planned Parenthood.
Those are the goals of the Restoring Americans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act, being sent to the desk of President Barack Obama.
Kansas Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins explained the intent of the measure when speaking at this week's Republican Leadership Press Conference. “Today, the House will send the reconciliation bill to the President finally heeding the call of thousands and thousands of Kansans who have written, emailed, and called my office asking for us to save them from the negative effects of the President’s health care law. But this bill goes even further to help folks who are struggling. It also halts federal funding for organizations that provide abortions and it re-directs that money to community health centers so that women and children can obtain health services closer to home and it prioritizes additional funds for mental health needs."
The Senate approved the measure in December.
President Obama has promised to veto the bill.
