Santa Cruz Planned Parenthood to Remain Closed Despite Judge Ruling to Keep Funding
SUFFOLK COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 29 – Judge Indira Talwani found the Medicaid funding cut likely unconstitutional and ruled nearly 200 clinics could close without payments, impacting over 1 million patients, according to Planned Parenthood.
- On July 28, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s provision targeting Planned Parenthood likely violates the Constitution and ordered Medicaid reimbursements to resume.
- On July 4, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which included a provision targeting entities matching Planned Parenthood's profile by freezing Medicaid payments over $800,000 for one year.
- Talwani wrote that blocking reimbursements would likely cause health risks, including unintended pregnancies and untreated STIs, harming public health and patients.
- Under the order, federal agencies must resume Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood facilities, preventing nearly 200 clinics from closing and protecting over 1 million patients.
- Future challenges loom since the case may head to the Supreme Court, and some states could still remove Planned Parenthood from Medicaid programs.
