Kresta in the Afternoon – June 24, 2024 – Hour 2

Wes Smith discusses a bill that would require states to pay for assisted suicide and we listen to Fr John Riccardo’s homily from Al’s funeral Mass. 

 

Bill Would Require Federal Funds to Pay for Assisted Suicide

The use of federal funds to cover any costs associated with assisted suicide is currently against the law based on a bill signed in 1997 by President Bill Clinton after Oregon’s lethal law went into effect. Now, a new bill has been introduced to force Medicare, the VA, and the federal share of Medicaid to cover expenses associated with assisted suicide.
