HHS Secretary Admits: Eliminating ObamaCare Slush Fund Won’t End Preventative Care

WASHINGTON, D.C.
— Just moments ago, the Obama administration threatened to veto Republican legislation that would roll back wasteful ObamaCare spending to provide a one year extension of the current interest rate on subsidized Stafford Loans made to undergraduate students.

According to the administration, the Republican plan would harm women. Perhaps Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius can provide a persuasive rebuttal to the administration’s veto threat.

During a hearing held by the committee just yesterday, Secretary Sebelius admitted to Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL) that despite repeal of the ObamaCare slush fund Americans would still have access to preventative services. The secretary was also forced to admit that the Obama budget cuts funding to the so-called prevention and public  health fund.
