AFA Action, the governmental affairs affiliate of the American Family Association, has released new research that shows how abortion providers are receiving hundreds of millions of dollars in Medicaid funding that could instead be going to vulnerable individuals waiting for care. The report is titled “Displacing the Disabled: How Medicaid funds abortion providers and leaves disabled kids waiting,” and can be found here.
Today, the United States Supreme Court issued a landmark decision in United States v. Jonathan Skrmetti. The Court, in a 6 – 3 decision, upheld a Tennessee law that bans medically assisted gender transitions for children. Similar laws have been passed by 25 other states. AFA and AFA Action, joined by lawmakers from 23 of those states, filed an amicus brief supporting the Tennessee law. The Biden-Harris administration had intervened to challenge the Tennessee law.
Research conducted by AFA Action shows that while Big Box Abortion providers are receiving hundreds of millions in Medicaid funding, disabled children and vulnerable adults are waiting for care. As Medicaid has departed from its core mission, many states have limited Medicaid services for the people the program was intended to serve. The Home-and-Community-Based Services (HCBS) program, in particular, is designed to provide supplemental, but often highly needed, services to vulnerable groups. In about 40 states, however, these vulnerable patients cannot get the care they need and are placed on waiting lists.
AFA Action is a non-profit 501(c)(4) organization dedicated to advancing biblical, family values in society and government by educating and influencing public policy. AFA Action is also the Governmental Affairs Affiliate of American Family Association.
