Arizona Bill Excluding Planned Parenthood from Medicaid (HB 2599)

HB 2599 would allow the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System to exclude any organization that fails “to segregate taxpayer dollars from abortions.” This would include the use of taxpayer dollars for any overhead expenses attributable to abortions.

This bill is the latest attempt by Arizona state lawmakers to defund Planned Parenthood.
