Summary
Republicans’ one-year Medicaid funding block on Planned Parenthood is set to expire July 4th, but lawmakers are pushing to make it permanent, forcing nearly 30 clinics to shut down and denying tens of thousands access to critical reproductive care.

With the Supreme Court poised to hand states more leeway to cut reimbursements next year, the future of reproductive healthcare access hangs in the balance.
