Ben Cline votes against helping babies with birth defects and sides with insurance companies

 Ben Cline votes against helping babies with birth defects and sides with insurance companies


On April 4 2022 Virginia 6th Congressional District Republican Representative Ben Cline voted NO against passing the Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act.  This bill requires private health insurance plans to cover diagnosis and treatment of congenital anomalies and birth defects, such as reconstructive services and items.  This would include congenital defects such as cleft lip and cleft palate.  


The CDC says that “children with a cleft lip with or without a cleft palate or a cleft palate alone often have problems with feeding and speaking clearly and can have ear infections. They also might have hearing problems and problems with their teeth.”


You can read more about these birth defects at https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/birthdefects/cleftlip.html


You can read the actual bill at https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/1916/text


Early corrective action for these problems can help affected children lead a normal life.


This is another example of Ben Cline siding with the rich and powerful against his most vulnerable constituents - babies and their parents.

Ben Cline votes NO against the Respect for Marriage Act

  Ben Cline votes NO against the Respect for Marriage Act  The Respect for Marriage Act - This bill provides statutory authority for same-sex and interracial marriages.   Did you know that the Virginia Constitution defines marriage as between a man and a woman only ?   If the Supreme Court rules against same sex marriage then then all same sex unions are illegal even if you were married tin another state. This is a direct attack on your right to love and have a relationship with the person who is right for you.. The full text of the bill can be examined at: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/8404

Ben Cline votes NO to lowering the cost of insulin and all medications

  Ben Cline votes NO to lowering the cost of insulin and all medications In my 25 years as a Nurse Practitioner in Virginia, I have treated many patients with diabetes who require insulin to live.  Uncontrolled diabetes has a staggering cost to the individual and their family as well as to the health care system and nation in general.  It can result in increased risk of complications such as blindness, vascular disease and amputations, heart attacks, and death.  Financial costs can include the cost of personal bankruptcy, unnecessary hospitalizations, loss of work, increased insurance premiums, etc.   This is why I cannot fathom why the Virginia 6th Congressional District Republican Representative Ben Cline voted NO on March 31 2022 on The Affordable Insulin Now Act and voted NO to the Lower Drug Costs Now Act of 2019. He also voted NO again to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 which allows Medicare to negotiate lower drug costs, caps the price of insu...
