Judge keeps Planned Parenthood out of Women's Health Program. “There are no equivalent men's programs... The Women's Health Program is for low-income women who wouldn't qualify for Medicaid unless they were pregnant. We don't have any special coverage like that for men.”

What is your point? Planned Parenthood offers numerous reproductive health services for men. It is not only a women's organization. And even if it were, you have to admit that women biologically have more issues when it comes to reproductive health than men do, considering they are the ones who actually bear children.

And really, stop spamming all the useless, barely relevant links this morning.

It's true - the Medicaid program provides coverage primarily to low income women. 69% of the spending goes to women, 31% to men. While the number of people without medical insurance in the U.S. in unacceptably high, the percentage of uninsured men is 33% higher than women - 24% vs 18%. This is mostly due to preferential coverage for women under Medicaid.
