US EditionSanta 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 Monday, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s defunding provision likely violates the Constitution, ordering Medicaid to resume reimbursements to Planned Parenthood.
- On July 4, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which included a clause described as targeting organizations that receive over $800,000 in Medicaid, without explicitly naming Planned Parenthood.
- Her decision highlighted the health risks, noting that Talwani warned patients are likely to suffer adverse health consequences where care is disrupted or unavailable.
- Under the order, federal agencies are required to resume Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood facilities, preventing clinic closures and protecting patient care.
- Future challenges loom since the case may head to the Supreme Court, and some states could still remove Planned Parenthood from Medicaid programs.
