The Trump administration will cut the budget of the federal family plan by Tuesday, affecting birth control, cancer tests and other services for low-income people.
Parents’ plans said they had received nine notices from the branches that the budget was suspended under a program known as the X, which had been supporting health care services for the poor since 1970. Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that the US Department of Health and Human Services planned to immediately install $27.5 million in family planning aid to groups, including parental plans.
Parents plans to say more than 300 health centers are in the X network X and the X, which has been provided with money in 2023, more than 1.5 million visited, not saying how much budget is being made by the Trump administration.
The White House and HHS did not immediately respond to a request from Reuters. A spokesman for HHS said last week that the ministry would review donations to ensure adherence to President Donald Trump’s executive orders.
Alexis McGil Johnson, president and executive director of the parental planning fund, predicted that cancers would go without diagnosis, access to maternity control would be severely reduced and increased transmitted sexually transmitted cases.
“President Trump and Elon Musk are pushing their dangerous political agenda, overthrowing people’s access to health care across the country, and do not think about the destruction they are doing,” Johnson said in a statement.
Trump has named billionaire Musk who helps the president to elect, to take an initiative to target government agencies to cut expenditures.
Conservatives have long tried to cut off their parental plans because it provides for abortion. But since 1977, the US government money has been banned for almost all abortions.
