Episode notes
GOP Law Threatens Planned Parenthood
- The GOP tax and spending law restricts Planned Parenthood's Medicaid reimbursements for one year, affecting all services, not just abortions.
- This could severely limit access to reproductive health care and threaten the survival of such clinics nationwide.
Medicaid Cut Threatens Clinic Viability
- Planned Parenthood could lose about a third of its funding from Medicaid for one year.
- This financial hit may force clinic closures or service reductions, but the full impact remains uncertain.
Other Clinics Also Impacted
- Other independent reproductive health clinics that also provide abortions will be affected by this law.
- The funding cut is not limited solely to Planned Parenthood, despite appearances.
