Stand up for Planned Parenthood patients. Help stop extremists from taking away their care.
Politics shouldn't get in the way of basic health care – but that's exactly what's happening in state after state. Extremist politicians are ignoring the law and trying to block people from getting the care they need – cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, birth control, and more – at Planned Parenthood and other health centers.
The Obama administration proposed a new rule making it crystal clear that politicians cannot block people from accessing health care through Title X due to political agendas. But the proposed rule isn't final. We know opponents will be out in full force, so we need to make a strong showing in support of this rule to ensure it's enacted.
It's simple: People must be allowed to get care from qualified providers they trust - including at Planned Parenthood and other health centers. If you agree, add your name below and help ensure access to essential healthcare.
Dear Secretary Burwell,
I support the proposed rule that would protect patients who rely on the Title X program for basic health care by ensuring they have access to qualified providers such as Planned Parenthood and other health centers.
Title X is a critical, lifesaving program that provides access to cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, birth control, well-woman visits, and more. This is essential care. It's not optional. Many people choose to receive this care from the doctors and nurses they trust at Planned Parenthood health centers. For many others, Planned Parenthood health centers may be their only option for basic care.
We can't let political agendas cut these people off from the care they need, and we can't let politicians ignore the laws that protect people's health care access. All people should be able to visit the health care providers they trust without interference from lawmakers.
I applaud the Obama administration's new rule, which reinforces existing protections for health care access, and celebrate the positive impact it will have for people nationwide.
