An Inclusive Litany

4/25/94

According to the Massachusetts Division of Medical Assistance, Medicaid paid almost $50,000 in 1993 for fertility drugs for 240 woman and 20 men; 63 percent already had children—including two women who had eight kids each—and more than half were on welfare. The federal government pays 90 cents of each Medicaid dollar that states spend on "family-planning services."
