More than 1.1 million Planned Parenthood patients across the country rely on Medicaid for cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, birth control, and other essential health care. But in June 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states can block access to care at Planned Parenthood through Medicaid. Source: “Tangible Harm to Real People” What the Medina v. PPSAT Decision Means For Patients (Planned Parenthood)
ON THIS DAY: 60 years ago today, on July 30, 1965, President Johnson signed Medicaid and Medicare into law. These state and federal government-funded programs made it possible for people with low incomes and people ages 65 and older to get health insurance they would not otherwise have access to.

They want to shut Planned Parenthood down. But we'll NEVER STOP fighting for your freedom to get the care you need, when you need it.
President Trump just signed the big bad budget bill into law. Trump and his anti-abortion backers might think they’ve won, but this fight has just begun.
"This is the fiercest attack on Planned Parenthood yet — and we’re in the fight of our lives to protect our rights and our freedom. Congress just chose to give billionaires tax cuts over protecting people who elected them to govern with compassion and integrity. They voted to gut cancer screenings, STI testing, and birth control access — putting millions at risk and deepening existing health inequities." Jennifer M. Allen (she/her) CEO of Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates
BREAKING: The U.S. Congress has passed the budget bill that blocks patients from using Medicaid at Planned Parenthood.
There is still time to fight the big bad bill. Text CARE to 22422 to call Congress today!
Breaking: The U.S. Senate has passed the budget bill that removes Planned Parenthood from Medicaid. Nothing has changed yet. Medicaid patients are still covered at Planned Parenthood in AK, HI, ID, IN, KY, and WA. Photo of U.S. Capitol.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled that South Carolina can block access to Planned Parenthood through Medicaid. This is a direct attack on people who rely on Planned Parenthood for essential health care — many of whom have lower incomes or are from historically marginalized communities.
