Title X of the Public Service Health Act is a 30 year-old law that authorizes federal funding for family planning services. Latinas have the highest uninsured rate of any racial or ethnic group. These federal grants are vital to many Latinas who are not eligible for Medicaid and do not have access to contraception, gyno exams, counseling, pap tests, breast exams and screening for HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.
