In a press release<\/a> from Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, President and CEO Crystal Strait expressed support for California\u2019s Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon\u2019s shelving of California\u2019s single-payer<\/a>SB-562<\/a> bill this past Sunday:<\/p>\n

Right now, health care for millions of Americans is under attack. The bill the US Senate is considering is the worst policy change for women in a generation. In addition to \u201cdefunding\u201d Planned Parenthood and slashing Medicaid, it guts maternity coverage and prescription drugs. Thirteen million women could lose coverage.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California supports Speaker Rendon\u2019s focus on what\u2019s at stake right now. As disappointed as many are, we know he made a hard decision to keep the pressure on defeating the GOP actions in Washington D.C. We pledge to continue to work with the Legislature and our partners to defeat Trumpcare. And we will work together to make sure our state\u2019s health system provides quality, affordable access to care for all Californians.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
