Planned Parenthood faces a critical crisis as the Trump administration imposes cuts that threaten its survival. Excluded from the Title X family planning program, the organization, known for serving low-income patients, now faces a Supreme Court ruling that prohibits patients from suing states that exclude its clinics from Medicaid. This ruling allows states to deny reimbursements for politically disfavored medical services, undermining patient choice and weakening the Civil Rights Act of 1871, affecting citizens' rights to seek care from preferred providers.
The Trump administration has made repeated cuts targeting Planned Parenthood's clinics, excluding the group from the vast Title X family planning program.
The supreme court ruled that patients cannot sue to challenge their states' exclusion of Planned Parenthood from their Medicaid programs.
The ruling threatens to transform the Medicaid program, giving states leeway to ban Medicaid reimbursements to any practice that provides politically disfavored medicine.
The ruling also dramatically weakens section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act of 1871, which allows for citizens to sue states.
