GOP Offers Healthcare Amendment That Would Deny Care To Interracial Couples
Utterly disgusting: The measure, proposed by Sen.

The measure, proposed by Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) would amend the Affordable Care Act to allow any employer to exclude any health service coverage, no matter how critical or basic, by claiming that it violates their religious or moral convictions. Moreover, according to the National Women’s Law Center, the amendment would remove critical non-discrimination protections from the Affordable Care Act. For instance, an insurer could deny maternity care coverage to a same-sex couple, an interracial couple or a single woman for religious or moral reasons.
So what if I decided that I wanted to exclude healthcare coverage because someone is a Catholic or even a Republican? Somehow I got a feeling these closed minded twits would be up in arms over that, screaming discrimination at the top of their lungs. But this is just exactly how sick and twisted the Republican Party of today has become.
