Paul: HHS reg a 'payback to Planned Parenthood'

President Barack Obama touted a federal mandate that insurance companies cover contraceptives as an anti-discrimination measure at a recent fundraiser, but Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, calls the new contraceptive regulations a “payback” for special interest supporters of Obamacare.

Speaking at a St. Louis fundraiser, Obama declared, “No longer can insurance companies discriminate against women just because you guys are the ones who have to give birth.” Obama added moments later that insurance companies must “cover things like mammograms and contraception as preventive care, no more out-of-pocket costs.”
