A US federal judge in Boston has blocked the Trump administration's attempt to cut funding for Planned Parenthood clinics by ending federal Medicaid reimbursements nationwide, citing that the effort is likely unconstitutional. The decision was made on Monday and applies to all states participating in the Medicaid program. Planned Parenthood provides a range of healthcare services, including reproductive health care, to low-income individuals. The ruling blocks a policy change announced by the Trump administration in 2017 aimed at reducing federal funding for the organization.
