Trump’s efforts to defund Planned Parenthood threatens US healthcare system, study suggests
The article discusses how efforts by the Trump administration to defund Planned Parenthood could threaten the U.S. healthcare system. Planned Parenthood clinics treated over 1.5 million Medicaid patients in 2024, but the organization's ability to do so is now at risk due to Republicans' plans to exclude it from Medicaid reimbursements. The Trump administration's tax and spending package, passed in July, bans Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid funds, although a judge has temporarily halted the implementation of this ban. The article suggests that these efforts to "defund" Planned Parenthood could have significant implications for the healthcare system, particularly for low-income individuals who rely on Medicaid.
