Maine Family Planning sues over law cutting Medicaid funds, impacting vital health services.

Maine Family Planning, a major provider in Maine, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to restore Medicaid reimbursements cut by a policy aimed at defunding Planned Parenthood. The policy affects organizations receiving over $800,000 in Medicaid for family planning services in 2023. Maine Family Planning operates 18 clinics and fears the funding cut will lead to clinic closures, impacting access to essential health services like cancer screenings and contraception.
