Gov. Newsom Cuts Funds to...Planned Parenthood?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : California Governor Gavin Newsom's proposed $322 billion budget for the 2025-26 fiscal year includes a $500 million cut to health care provider payments funded by Proposition 56, a move that Planned Parenthood says would significantly hinder its ability to offer essential health services across the state... The $500 million reduction specifically targets incentive payments to health care providers that serve Medi-Cal patients.
52% : Planned Parenthood is outraged.
48% : The CEO of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California Jodi Hicks, who supported the passing of Prop 35, said the organization is outraged by the revised cuts, because they would slash Planned Parenthood's annual budget in California by one-third.
30% : Gov. Newsom is getting some angry pushback from Planned Parenthood over his new budget which would slash about half a billion in funding that goes to Medical providers.
30% : The reality is that Newsom has been borrowing money to keep the state going in the past few months after expanding Medical (California's branding of Medicaid) to illegal immigrants last year.
25% : So to get back to Planned Parenthood, they are facing major Medical funding cuts largely because Newsom and Democrats decided to spend exorbitantly on expanding the program to illegal immigrants.
21% : Newsom can keep blaming that on Trump but the reality is that the state underestimated the potential cost and now it needs to cut back on spending, including its spending on Planned Parenthood.
