US judge temporarily blocks law barring Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood health centers
UNITED STATES, JUL 7 – The temporary block preserves Medicaid funding critical for nearly 1.1 million patients at risk of losing access to care at nearly 200 Planned Parenthood centers nationwide.
- A federal judge temporarily blocked the government from enforcing a provision that would have prevented Medicaid from reimbursing Planned Parenthood health centers.
- Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit challenging the law, saying it was an attempt to single out their organization and violate their First Amendment rights.
- The order blocks the provision's enforcement for 14 days, during which Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood will continue as usual.
