US EditionSanta Cruz Planned Parenthood to Remain Closed Despite Judge Ruling to Keep Funding
SUFFOLK COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 29 – Judge Indira Talwani ruled a Trump-era Medicaid funding cut likely violates the Constitution and could close nearly 200 clinics serving over 1 million patients, blocking the provision nationwide.
- On July 28, 2025, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ruled the provision likely targets Planned Parenthood and blocked a Trump tax law provision withholding Medicaid reimbursements nationwide.
- The Trump administration inserted a provision that bars Medicaid payments for one year to abortion providers receiving over $800,000 and aims to target Planned Parenthood's nearly 600 centers in 48 states.
- Amid funding cuts, data show nearly 200 Planned Parenthood health centers across 24 states would close, affecting over 1 million Medicaid patients.
- In response to the order, a health department spokesperson said the decision 'undermines state flexibility' and the HHS has appealed the injunction, which remains in effect.
- Facing a possible appeal outcome, Planned Parenthood Members must decide by October 1, 2025, whether affiliates not providing abortions will disaffiliate to retain Medicaid eligibility, risking loss of services for millions.
