Arizona In Focus

A Republican health care reform bill stalled in the House of Representatives this week, but the proposal gave an inside view into plans to defund Planned Parenthood. In Arizona, approximately 33,000 people received care at a Planned Parenthood clinic in 2015.

Producer Freesia DeNaples brings us the story.
