Hey Jack,
I’m following up on my previous message.
Medicaid patients have the freedom to choose a sexual and reproductive health care provider they trust. It’s actually federal law! But politicians in Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi, and Missouri have blocked people from using Medicaid to get their health care at Planned Parenthood health centers, risking their ability to access cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, birth control, and other critical preventive care. More states are attempting the same.
There’s still time to act:
Sign Planned Parenthood Federation of America's petition now if you agree these violations are unconscionable and that access to quality health care shouldn’t depend on your zip code, income, or background.

Jack,
Medicaid is a vital program for millions of Americans — especially for people who have historically faced systemic barriers to health care, including people in Black and Latinx communities, LGBTQ+ people, those who live in rural areas, and women.
Federal law guarantees Medicaid patients the right to choose their health care providers that provide birth control, STI tests and screening, and other preventive care. But Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi, and Missouri have violated that requirement and blocked patients’ right to visit Planned Parenthood health centers through the Medicaid program — Louisiana and South Carolina are following suit.
Add your name: Jack, Speak out now to protect Medicaid patients' access to Planned Parenthood and the health of our communities. >>

Blocking access to Planned Parenthood health centers is a direct threat to patients’ health and lives. It can mean a loss of vital care like cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, birth control, and other preventive care.
Sign Planned Parenthood Federation of America's petition now if you agree that access to quality health care shouldn’t depend on who you are, how much you earn, or where you live. Every patient deserves the right to control their own bodies and get the care they need.
SIGN YOUR NAME
In solidarity,
Planned Parenthood Federation of America
