there are times in your check up you need other services that are not deductible. low cost clinics like PP are more often cheaper than the regular doc.

The poor are already getting free healthcare coverage via Medicade and those making some money are getting subsidized obamacare.

The government doesn't need to be providing free health care and free clinics. It is a waste of money.

If these clinics close because of loss of Medicaid funds what agency is going to take their place, hospitals. Be careful what you ask for, these clinics fill a niche that supports these people at a reduced cost what good can come of closing these facilities.

Showing up in hospital emergency rooms to do cancer screenings and they will accept medicaid good luck, name the government agency that will replace them.

Planned Parenthood Unit Sues Louisiana Over Medicaid Funding - WSJ
From your thread title, I expected something like Louisiana was sending state police to prevent PP from unlocking its doors in the morning.

I'm not so sure that isn't the case but the employees have been threatened.

Private doctors, the same ones that take all the other Medicaid and Medicare patients.

Their are more types of healthcare besides government paid for free clinics and the emergency room.

That is one agency vs combined. I can only imagine the outrage if republicans gave 542 million to exxon mobile after it was caught purposely dumping oil into the ocean.

No, it is just losing its medcaid funding because it got caught selling baby parts. The same thing would happen to any other provider that got caught breaking the law.
