At reproductive health clinics across the US, many leaders say they were faced with an impossible choice as recipients of grants from Title X, the federal family planning program that provides affordable birth control. (1/7)
“I want our patients to know: while the Trump administration may have given up on you, Planned Parenthood never will. Our doors are open today, and our doors will be open tomorrow," Alexis McGill Johnson, acting president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said.In interviews with clinics throughout the United States, most leaders said the loss in funding would not have an immediate effect on the care they provide.
Such a charge, she feared, could dissuade patients who live below the poverty level from seeking care. For patients who do not qualify for reproductive health care services through Medicaid or state family planning programs,"Title X is the safety net. It's the last in a waterfall of funding options that clinics go through with patients to make sure we can get as much of their care covered as possible," Aulwes said.
Both Aulwes and Galloway said front desk staff would work with patients to navigate insurance to see if they have coverage they don't know about, and will rely on donors. "If we are not able to secure an alternative source of funding, there will be a danger of having to close clinics."
