What percentage of Planned Parenthood patients rely on Medicaid, and how does this impact their healthcare delivery?

According to Alexis McGill Johnson, President of Planned Parenthood, 50% of their patients are insured through Medicaid. This significant proportion faces challenges due to inadequate reimbursement rates that Johnson explicitly describes as 'very crappy.' These poor reimbursement rates create financial strains for healthcare providers across the country. The reality affects Planned Parenthood's ability to deliver quality care while maintaining financial sustainability. This reimbursement crisis represents a critical challenge for healthcare organizations serving vulnerable populations, particularly impacting women's health services that depend on fair compensation to continue providing essential care.
