A legislatively mandated copayment system for California state-funded family planning services was evaluated after the first six months of experience. Most clients reportedly could make their payments, but three times as many providers suggested lowering the fees as suggested raising them, and one-third reported a decrease in client donations. While the majority of providers did not report a decrease in clients, 22 per cent did so. For these drop-outs, it is estimated that the State would pay approximately $3 million in costs associated with unintended pregnancies, or one and a half times the amount cut from the Family Planning budget.
在经历了头六个月之后，对加利福尼亚州政府资助的计划生育服务法定自付费用系统进行了评估。据报道，大多数客户能够支付费用，但建议降低费用的提供者数量是建议提高费用者的三倍，三分之一的提供者报告客户捐赠减少。虽然大多数提供者没有报告客户减少，但有22%的提供者这样做了。对于这些退出的客户，估计该州将支付约300万美元与意外怀孕相关的费用，这是从计划生育预算中削减金额的1.5倍。
