Appeals court allows Trump's administration to block Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood
Appeals court allows Trump's administration to block Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthoodhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/appeals-court-allows-trump-s-administration-to-block-medicaid-funds-to-planned-parenthood/ar-AA1Mnsip
BOSTON (AP) — A U.S. appeals court panel on Thursday allowed President Donald Trump’s administration to block Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood while legal challenges continue.
A federal judge in July ruled Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide must continue to be reimbursed for Medicaid funding as the nation’s largest abortion provider fights Trump’s administration over efforts to defund the organization in his signature tax legislation.
