Medicaid again to cover non-abortion care at Planned Parenthood as GOP ban ends

Medicaid is set to resume covering non-abortion care provided by Planned Parenthood after a one-year GOP-led ban expired on July 4. Initially, Republicans hoped the ban would significantly impact Planned Parenthood's funding, but the organization reportedly weathered the financial blow. With the ban now lifted, the focus shifts to whether GOP lawmakers will attempt to extend or modify the restrictions, highlighting ongoing political tensions around reproductive health funding. This move underscores the broader debate over reproductive rights and government funding for healthcare services.
