US EditionGOP Bill Would Ban Medicaid at Planned Parenthood Clinics
- On Friday, the organization overseeing Planned Parenthood services in the North Central region revealed it will shut down eight facilities across the Midwest, including half of its locations in Iowa, in response to funding challenges and federal policy pressures.
- The closures are a consequence of a federal tax and spending measure, known informally as the One Big, Beautiful Bill, which prohibits Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, putting approximately 200 clinics nationwide at risk.
- These shutdowns involve 66 layoffs, reassignment offers for 37 workers, and affect clinics primarily providing contraception and STD testing rather than abortion services.
- Ruth Richardson acknowledged that difficult choices made recently are necessary to guarantee Planned Parenthood’s continued presence for the foreseeable future, while Minnesota faces $2.8 million in frozen funding amid ongoing financial challenges.
- The closures will reduce access to reproductive health care in impacted areas, heightening concerns about women's health needs and reliance on telehealth to offset lost clinic services.
