Texas is looking to the Trump Administration to approve a request that the state be permitted to exclude abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood from receiving a portion of federal Medicaid funding.
With talk of another Republican healthcare plan on the horizon, Planned Parenthood is eager to ensure birth control remains free for women while the group itself can be reimbursed – for the contraception it distributes – by the federal government and insurance companies.
President Donald Trump signed a resolution Thursday that overturns former President Barack Obama’s rule that forced states to provide family planning grants under Title X to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.
