FamilyPACT

If any of you are familiar with the amazing teal card, this might be of interest to you.

"[FamilyPACT] provides services to women and men who earn less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level. Participants can receive birth control, reproductive health services and education about sexually transmitted diseases. The program does not provide abortion counseling."

These services are provided free of charge and in California, everyone is eligible for the FPACT program - documented and undocumented citizen alike. Given how hard the California state budget is being hit, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is now requiring the hire of over 1,300 new employees to verify (immigration status) eligibility for FPACT and threatening an end to major funding if it isn't carried through. Even the governor is fighting back!
