Medicaid Funds To Planned Parenthood Can Be Blocked

BOSTON (AP) — A U.S. appeals court panel has allowed President Donald Trump’s administration to block Medicaid fund to Planned Parenthood while legal challenges continue. Planned Parenthood says Thursday’s ruling means that more than 1.1 million patients can’t use their Medicaid insurance at its health centers. A federal judge in July ruled Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide must continue to be reimbursed for Medicaid funding as the nation’s largest abortion provider fights Trump’s administration over efforts to defund the organization in his signature tax legislation.
