Some Planned Parenthood clinics are using Botox to smooth over federal cuts

Samantha Pohlman, a registered nurse, performs a cosmetic treatment procedure on Christine Ruiz at Planned Parenthood - B Street in Sacramento, Calif., Friday, March 20. Planned Parenthood is expanding its services by offering cosmetic treatments like injections to expand its revenue sources.

After President Trump and Congress cut certain Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood in last year’s budget, some clinics have started offering aesthetic services, including Botox, to stay afloat.
