Looks like I created an opportunity to clarify a few things re: Planned Parenthood.....
You can pay cash for services rendered. You can pay more than what is required. Those of us who can afford it do.
Government "funding" of PP comes through Medicaid reimbursements. It is not directly funded with a line item on the Gov't. budget. Since funding would be ending with Karl's plan to end Medicaid, then PP would need to attract more full-price clients, find more generous Donors, and apply a sliding scale to pricing so that everyone pays according to what they can afford.
The quality of service at PP is excellent.
Remember with Karl's Plan - we are all personally responsible for our well-being and have a stake in the program.
