US judge blocks Trump-backed Medicaid cuts to Planned Parenthood
UNITED STATES, JUL 29 – A federal judge ruled the Medicaid funding cut likely violates the Constitution, protecting over 1 million patients dependent on Planned Parenthood’s reproductive health services nationwide.
- On July 28, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston issued a nationwide injunction, blocking Medicaid funding cuts to Planned Parenthood affiliates under court order.
- Earlier this month, a court order caused Planned Parenthood of California to lose $300 million in federal funding, though California centers are not included.
- Risk analyses show severe care disruptions, with Judge Talwani citing risks of unintended pregnancies, undiagnosed STIs, and reduced cancer screening in underserved communities.
- Following the ruling, Department of Health and Human Services spokesman Andrew Nixon said, `We’re reviewing the decision,` while health centers resumed Medicaid billing.
- Legal experts warn the Trump administration's appeal of the case, Planned Parenthood v. Kennedy, could establish significant judicial power precedents in the First Circuit.
