Statement attributable to:
Susan R. Bailey, M.D.
AMA President
“The American Medical Association (AMA) strongly applauds the Biden administration’s decision to consider reversing the Trump administration rule that imposed drastic changes on the Title X program. This is an important first step toward restoring access to comprehensive care for the millions of low-income and uninsured patients who depend on Title X for family planning services. It would also mean the government will no longer inappropriately interfere in the patient-physician relationship, and physicians will no longer be forced to violate the ethical standards of the medical profession.
“Title X has an essential role in ensuring that all Americans—regardless of their location or economic situation—have access to quality, evidence-based reproductive health care. We look forward to the potential implementation of the reversal that will enhance patient care, protect physicians, and improve the health of our nation.”
