Obermueller Opposes Kline's Support of 'Conscience Clause' in Obamacare Delay
What do you think about Rep. John Kline's vote to delay Obamacare and to support, what is known as, the conscience clause?
Last weekend, Rep. John Kline voted with other U.S. representatives to delay ObamaCare for one year.
Included in the bill, according to CNN, is a clause that "would allow employers and insurers to opt out of preventative care for women which they find objectionable on moral or religious grounds. That prominently includes birth control, which most insurers are required to provide for free under current Obamacare rules."
Mike Obermueller released a statement on Monday regarding the added provision:
"...Congressman Kline has done it again by trying to make it easier for employers to deny women coverage for birth control. Congressman Kline’s decision to risk a shutdown and play political games with women’s health decisions is another reminder that Congressman Kline is part of the problem in Washington.”
Obermueller is planning to run against Kline in 2014.
