Planned Parenthood Suspends Medicaid Services Arizona Wisconsin Medicaid Funding Cuts

Planned Parenthood clinics in Arizona and Wisconsin are ceasing certain services due to new Medicaid funding restrictions imposed by the Trump administration. In Arizona, Planned Parenthood is suspending Medicaid patient services like cancer screenings, STI tests, and family planning starting October 1, 2025, citing the administration's rule that freezes Medicaid funding for abortion providers as the cause. This move is expected to disproportionately affect vulnerable communities including Black, Latino, LGBTQ+ people, and those living in rural or underserved areas. In Wisconsin, Planned Parenthood will stop scheduling abortions due to Medicaid cuts, marking the first state where the provider is pausing all abortion services because of these new funding limitations. The Trump administration's One Big Beautiful Bill Act bans federal funding for organizations receiving over $800,000 in Medicaid reimbursements if they provide abortion services, a restriction defended by some state lawmakers as a protection for unborn children. Planned Parenthood and its supporters argue that federal Medicaid funds do not pay for abortions due to the Hyde Amendment, but the new funding ban nonetheless threatens the availability of vital reproductive and health care services.
