Ohio Planned Parenthood affiliate rejects Medicaid amid fears over Trump cuts

Group fears administration could try to claw back Medicaid payments if judge's ruling on reimbursements is overturned

An Ohio affiliate of Planned Parenthood said it will not accept Medicaid insurance because of uncertainty around a judge's ruling ordering the Trump administration to continue sending Medicaid reimbursements to all Planned Parenthood health centers.

The operator of four clinics said it was concerned the administration could try to claw those payments back if the ruling is overturned. A second group of a dozen health centers is not offering long-acting contraceptive devices for Medicaid patients for similar reasons.
