GOP Congressman: Planned Parenthood Unnecessary Because 'As A Guy' I Have Plenty Of Options

Grothman, who presumably receives very good health insurance through his job as a member of Congress, told Richards that “when I look at cities around me that have a Planned Parenthood clinic … usually in those cities, as a guy, I could go to many clinics locally that have all the machines that one would need, all these clinics as far as I know take Medicaid dollars, so you could go to any of those clinics to get any medical service you could.”

“I guess what I’m getting at is if Planned Parenthood disappeared tomorrow in those towns, there would still be three or four or five clinics or hospitals providing all the … medical care you would want,” he said.

Grothman then claimed that Medicaid, which provides health care for low-income people, is “superior care” to private insurance because “without the deductibles and copays it’s usually better insurance than other people have.” Grothman has previously claimed that people who use the public safety net are fleecing taxpayers by living luxuriously.

Richards reminded Grothman that Planned Parenthood’s 22 health centers in Wisconsin serve 65,000 people a year. The claim that other health care providers could easily absorb Planned Parenthood’s patients if it was forced to stop providing care is simply false, especially since many of the supposed “replacement” clinics Planned Parenthood’s critics point to don’t have reproductive health care expertise.

[Bettie]

6. What area of Wisconsin does he represent?

Curious, since I'm from Wisconsin.

Ah, see it now, Oshkosh, Sheboygan, and Fon Du Lac....husband is from that area, he is not surprised that they have elected an idiot.

4. The worst part of Grothman...

He's my congressasshole.

[Vinca]

5. Republicans have been touting "other clinics."

Here's a news flash. Other clinics and hospitals also do abortions. If they want to defund abortion providers, they're going to have to take away funding from more than Planned Parenthood. They might even have to defund Grothman's favorite healthcare provider. Republicans are so mindnumbingly stupid it makes your head hurt.

10. Well then, Mr. Grothman, you need to have some representatives ...

... from those clinics testify before this tribunal. I'm sure you can find many who will say they could easily be serving thousands more patients, and are happy to charge no more than Planned Parenthood, and will take any and all insurance, right?

... or not, seeing as how you've done no research at all, and are just making stuff up.
