Planned Parenthood Clinics Dropping Access to Medicaid After Funding Cuts
COLORADO, JUL 9 – Planned Parenthood affiliates halted Medicaid billing due to a federal law cutting funds to abortion providers, risking closure of 200 clinics and affecting thousands of low-income patients.
- Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains suspended Medicaid services after President Donald Trump signed the July 4, 2025, law restricting federal funds for clinics that provide abortions.
- The new spending law, H.R. 1, blocks Medicaid funds for clinics providing abortions and extends restrictions to routine health services at affected centers.
- Adrienne Mansanares announced about 15,000 Medicaid patients, 25% of the clinic's base, face disrupted routine services like birth control and screenings.
- U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani imposed a 14-day restraining order, halting Medicaid funding cuts while the lawsuit advances.
- If the defunding provision remains, nearly 200 clinics in 24 states, mostly in states where abortion is legal, could close, jeopardizing reproductive health access nationwide.
