Sister Carol Keehan, the president of the Catholic Health Association, recently shared some strong words for President Trump and his plan to repeal and replace Obamacare.
“This is a bill to move wealth from the lowest-income Americans to the wealthiest,” Keehan said of the original bill according to the Catholic publisher Crux. “That’s an important thing for the people in this country to understand.”
Calling Trump’s health care proposal “utterly unconscionable,” Keehan criticized the lack of transparency throughout the Republicans’ repeal process. “We have no insight,” she said. “The administration has been, I would say, singular in not being in contact with health care providers on almost any issue.”
Keehan said she believes that Trump’s health care plan isn’t actually about health care at all, but actually a “companion to the big tax cut,” arguing that his plan is simply a way to pay for the cuts and not about giving people coverage.”If you read anything about Catholic social teaching, if you read what Pope Francis said about what ought to guide our decisions in health care, it is absolutely deplorable.”
