Some Planned Parenthood affiliates have begun rejecting Medicaid in response to Republicans’ budget reconciliation bill stripping the organization of federal taxpayer dollars.
Planned Parenthood locations in Colorado and Washington, DC, posted notices this week telling patients that Medicaid coverage is no longer accepted at those clinics, the Hill reported on Friday.
“With the passage of the reconciliation bill into law on July 4, 2025, Planned Parenthood health centers, including Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, D.C. (PPMW), can no longer accept Medicaid coverage for care,” the D.C. location reportedly announced.
“This ‘defund’ provision is a cruel, harmful, and inhumane law that will strip health care from thousands of people in the D.C. metropolitan region and millions across the country,” the organization added.
