The Low-Income Access Program
The Low-Income Access Program seeks to ensure that all women have the health care coverage and access necessary to obtain reproductive health care. Nearly nineteen million women rely on Medicaid for their health coverage, covering one in ten non-elderly women in America. With sixty-two percent of women on Medicaid in their reproductive years, this program is an important source of reproductive health care for many. However, Medicaid does not provide coverage for all needed reproductive health care services. Another 17 million women in America are uninsured, and have few places to turn for necessary care. Recognizing that many women do not have adequate access to reproductive health care, the project is dedicated to working with local, state, and national advocates to expand and protect women’s access to health coverage and family planning services. The Low-Income Access Program is working to increase access to reproductive health care, including abortion, emergency contraception, birth control, and pregnancy services, for all women who face access barriers. If you would like to get more involved and help increase access to reproductive health care for low-income women in your area, please contact us.
