Maine clinics hope to get blocked Medicaid funds restored as they sue Trump administration over cuts
Maine Family Planning serves 8,000 patients and faces closure after Medicaid cuts linked to a Trump policy aimed at abortion providers, threatening rural health services.
- Maine Family Planning will stop providing primary care by the end of October due to a Medicaid funding cut affecting its 18 clinics.
- President Trump's 2023 legislation, often referred to as the "big beautiful bill," included provisions that prevented Medicaid funding from being distributed to abortion providers, including Maine Family Planning.
- Maine Family Planning, which provides services to approximately 8,000 patients—many in remote areas lacking other healthcare options—recently initiated a federal legal action to recover lost funding.
- Deputy director Anne Marie Costello called MFP's lawsuit legally groundless, stating it tries to revive an interred constitutional right to abortion in a federal funds dispute.
- The dispute suggests continued legal battles over funding cuts could impact access to primary care for low-income and rural Maine residents.
