US EditionPlanned Parenthood Drops Lawsuit Against Trump Administration's Medicaid Cuts
Planned Parenthood dismissed the lawsuit after appellate rulings allowed Medicaid funding cuts to continue, affecting nearly half of its patients and causing 23 clinic closures, it said.
- Late Friday, Planned Parenthood moved to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit, and Massachusetts District Court Judge Indira Talwani closed the case on Monday.
- Based on the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision, Planned Parenthood said the suit was no longer the best route after the court allowed Medicaid cuts under President Donald Trump's tax bill.
- Nearly half of Planned Parenthood's patients rely on Medicaid, and 23 clinics closed after July 4, with over 50 clinics in 18 states last year, the group says.
- A separate coalition of mostly Democratic states' lawsuit suffered a similar blow in January but remains ongoing, a network of medical clinics in Maine voluntarily dismissed its suit in October, and an email was sent Monday to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- The provision was shortened to a one-year bar on Medicaid visits, originally slated for a decade, blocking payments to providers primarily offering family planning who received over $800,000 from Medicaid in 2023, and Planned Parenthood says it targeted their nearly 600 centers in 48 states.
