The short explanation of this alert was:

The Medicaid Family Planning State Option would allow states to expand Medicaid eligibility for family planning services without having to go through the waiver process that is currently required. This policy change would increase access to vital family planning services for an additional 2.3 million women. Additionally, it is a cost-saving measure that would save millions of dollars for state governments and $700 million for the federal government over ten years. This provision was included in the economic stimulus package but was removed before Congress could vote on the measure. In these difficult economic times, as people around the country struggle to access basic health care, the administration and Congress must work together to find a way to quickly implement this important, fiscally sound provision.
