Planned Parenthood Clinics Dropping Access to Medicaid After Funding Cuts
UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – A federal judge issued a 14-day order blocking Medicaid cuts to Planned Parenthood, which relies on government funds for over one-third of its revenue, amid ongoing legal challenges.
- On July 4, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains suspended Medicaid services, `the impact has been terrible and immediate,` said Adrienne Mansanares, CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains.
- H.R. 1, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, bans Medicaid payments to nonprofits providing abortions for one year, extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and cutting Medicaid funding.
- About 5,000 Medicaid recipients in Colorado relied on Planned Parenthood, Adrienne Mansanares said, and clinics have since referred them elsewhere.
- The federal court paused, directing HHS to continue Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood until July 21, according to U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, District of Massachusetts.
- Despite funding cuts, Planned Parenthood expects to maintain operations in Colorado, though Alina Salganicoff warns absorption capacity will vary across regions, potentially straining other providers.
