Planned Parenthood Mar Monte announced the closure of five clinics in Northern California due to federal budget cuts that eliminated Medicaid reimbursements for abortion services. This decision comes after the recent signing of a federal spending bill by President Trump, which restricts Medicaid funding for providers offering abortions. The clinics have catered to over 22,000 patients, primarily low-income individuals. Analysts express concern that such funding cuts could harm the safety-net health system in underserved areas. Other Planned Parenthood affiliates across the country have also reported clinic closures in multiple states, indicating widespread impacts from these cutbacks.
President Trump has followed through on his commitment to defund Planned Parenthood, leading to significant clinic closures due to Medicaid funding cuts.

The five clinics affected have served over 22,000 patients in the past year, primarily low-income individuals with limited access to affordable healthcare alternatives.
Health policy analysts warn these funding cuts may disrupt the safety-net health system, especially in the underserved areas reliant on federally subsidized care.
