Summary:

The Title X family planning (FP) program and the entire US network of FP clinics currently face enormous challenges. Rising costs of contraceptives and of state-of-the-art medical technology as well as the managed care revolution and an increasingly uninsured clientele complicate the delivery of services to existing clients. At the same time FP clinics are being asked to provide a more comprehensive range of services to women to broaden their outreach to men and to close access gaps among those women who are the hardest and most expensive to reach and serve. Meeting these substantial challenges requires a renewed political and financial commitment to publicly subsidized FP services-- one that is long overdue.
