Right now, extremist lawmakers are moving to gut billions of dollars in Medicaid funding in the United States—jeopardizing care for 1 in 5 people. Medicaid covers 42% of all births, funds 75% of public family planning services, and provides essential care for communities historically excluded from the health system.
This is a direct attack on sexual and reproductive health care: from birth control and cancer screenings to maternity care and HIV treatment. Defunding providers would strip millions of people of affordable, essential services and devastate reproductive health care access across America.
