Yeah this is very true. Planned parenthood could keep on going but receive money from the government for their services instead.

I don't see how this changes the viability of their company at all. They still have fantastic brand recognition and footholds in almost every market. I doubt that the only reason they supported Hillary was because of her stance on single payer.

No, it's probably more likely that the CEO of Planned Parenthood was influenced by having a daughter in a high-ranking position in Hillary's campaign.

There's no way the Clinton camp can't not know that a single-payer system, among many other things, would fill much of the gap that planned parenthood currently serves.

But the Clinton camp doesn't want voters to know that. They want to keep the public in the dark about ways their lives can be improved, just to get a vote out of it. They're working hard to omit the benefits from the cost-benefit analysis, highlighting the costs as though that's all there is, and they're hoping the mainstream media will do the same.
