We’re incredibly worried about how Trump’s MAGA-backed budget bill is going to impact reproductive care.
The bill’s extreme cuts to Medicaid — totalling a trillion dollars — are going to cut healthcare coverage for millions of women and children.
Medicaid covers around two in five births across America, and without this crucial funding, women are going to struggle to get the reproductive care they rely on Medicaid for!
Plus, the bill restricts Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers. Not only does this block crucial funding from going to abortion, it also cuts Medicaid funding for lifesaving care like STI testing and cancer screenings!
Up to 80% of patients at Planned Parenthood are Medicaid recipients, James. Many of these patients live in areas without quality alternatives for reproductive services or struggle to afford other providers, and they’ll be unable to access much-needed care due to these cuts!
