Applaud the Restoration of Planned Parenthood's Funding

Millions of Americans deserve access to affordable, essential healthcare — and this victory deserves applause.

After Congress allowed a temporary funding ban to expire, Planned Parenthood health centers can once again receive Medicaid reimbursement for the preventive and primary healthcare services they provide to patients across the country.

For many communities, Planned Parenthood is a trusted healthcare provider offering cancer screenings, birth control, STI testing and treatment, wellness exams, and other essential medical services. Restoring Medicaid funding helps ensure that patients—especially those in rural and medically underserved areas—can continue accessing the care they need.

Healthcare should never become a political weapon. Every person deserves the freedom to see a trusted provider and receive preventive care that keeps families and communities healthy.

Protecting access to affordable healthcare strengthens public health, reduces barriers to care, and helps ensure that people can make their own medical decisions with dignity and privacy.

This is an important step toward expanding access to healthcare and supporting the patients and providers who rely on Medicaid every day.

Add your name to applaud the restoration of Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood and to support affordable healthcare, preventive care, and reproductive healthcare access for everyone who needs it.
