Do You Know Where Your Birth Certificate Is?

If you answered "no", then you are in the majority. Most of us don't know, or if we do it may not even be the original.

But if you happen to be a woman on Medicaid, answering "no" now means that you may not be able to get birth control, have your yearly ob/gyn visit, or be screened for breast cancer.

Thanks to King George and rules being imposed by his MISadministration, millions of Americans could face significant delays or lose health coverage altogether because they simply do not have access to their birth certificate.

The Medicaid program plays a vital role in preventing unintended pregnancies and ensuring women have access to the care they need. Medicaid provides health insurance coverage for one in 10 women of reproductive age and pays for more than one-third of all births in the United States.

Center for Medicaod Sservices should exempt individuals who receive services under a Medicaid family planning demonstration project from the documentation requirements. Through these programs, millions of individuals who do not meet the requirements for standard Medicaid receive family planning services to help them prevent unintended pregnancies.

Act now. Let them know that all women — regardless of income — should have easy access to health care by clicking here.
