Medicaid Reinstated But Access Remains Fragile | Global News

Published 2 weeks ago
Description

Medicaid funding is back on the table for Planned Parenthood and two smaller family planning groups, restoring access to essential services like cancer screenings and STI testing after nearly a year of cuts — but the political battle over abortion funding isn’t over. With clinics shuttered and patients forced into long waits, the temporary reprieve doesn’t mean full recovery. Advocates warn the “yo-yo effect” of shifting policies makes long-term planning impossible, while opponents push Congress to reinstate defunding — even as Planned Parenthood insists most voters oppose these cuts.
