""Trump is tearing down healthcare and increasing costs," Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Hollister) said in a statement. "Democrats are building it up - investing millions in women's health and maternal care, because families come first in California.""
""Why does Planned Parenthood get a $90-million grant when right now over 60 hospitals in the state of California are on the verge of shutting down?" Tangipa asked, speaking on the Assembly floor."
California lawmakers approved a one-time $90 million grant for Planned Parenthood and other women's health clinics to replace federal Medicaid reimbursements blocked by the Trump administration. SB 106, carried by Sen. John Laird, is intended to offset losses after the Republican-backed One Big Beautiful Bill Act prohibited federal Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood. The bill now heads to Gov. Gavin Newsom. California and a coalition of other Democrat-led states filed a lawsuit over the federal provision. Medi-Cal previously reimbursed more than 80% of nearly 1.3 million annual Planned Parenthood patient visits in California. The funding measure drew Republican opposition citing hospital closures and competing healthcare priorities.
