She didn't think she qualified for a regular TP 55, but after looking at her income and child care costs she did. She wants it instead of any other plan. She was told to apply. At that clinic they didn't sign her up. It is a county clinic, no state though. Maybe that is why.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25606055.post-1169665230011926442007-01-24T13:00:00.000-06:002007-01-24T13:00:00.000-06:00We have confirmation.

From the local Planned Parenthood office, they are mandated as of 01/01/07 to sign any woman that comes in their doors meeting the criteria (18 - 44, capable of bearing children)up for the WHP. The kicker is that they are not being given any info on the program at all. We had a lady call the office wondering why she was getting a pending notice about her medicaid...She had not applied. A worker who had been following the underhanded deeds of the upper management of HHSC asked her if she had been to planned parenthood, and she had. She was going to file a police report as she thought identity theft was involved. She had gone in asking about birth control, was asked a few questions and was asked to sign a few papers, that was it. Now she will be another member of the TIERS parade...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25606055.post-1169651878339714942007-01-24T09:17:00.000-06:002007-01-24T09:17:00.000-06:00People lie about Planned Parenthood so much that I...People lie about Planned Parenthood so much that I wouldn't believe any second hand report without confirmation, particularly one which accuses them of bad actions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25606055.post-1169648320978223072007-01-24T08:18:00.000-06:002007-01-24T08:18:00.000-06:00What in the world is going on?Clients are going to...What in the world is going on?<BR/>Clients are going to have to rally along with state employees.
