Maine clinics also hit by cuts that targeted Planned Parenthood plan to halt primary care
A network of medical clinics that serves low-income residents in Maine says it is shutting down its primary care operations because of Trump administration cuts to abortion providers. President Donald Trump’s policy and tax bill blocked Medicaid money from Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider. The parameters in the bill also stopped funding from reaching Maine Family Planning, a much smaller provider that also provides other services in the mostly rural state. Maine Family Planning said Wednesday it has informed its nearly 1,000 primary care patients that it will no longer be providing that service starting Oct. 31.
