National Review Denounces Expiration of Planned Parenthood Funding Restrictions
Conservative commentators are criticizing the Biden administration and Congress for allowing federal funding restrictions on Planned Parenthood to lapse. The National Review described the restoration of eligibility as a shameful development for the country. This shift occurred after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act provisions expired, which had previously barred the organization from receiving Medicaid reimbursements for one year.
Planned Parenthood clinics have now regained the ability to bill Medicaid for services such as contraception and STI screenings. Congressional Republicans failed to pass an extension of the funding ban before the July 5 deadline. Consequently, the organization resumed federal Medicaid billing for non-abortion health services immediately following the pause.

Planned Parenthood Resumes Medicaid Billing as Federal Funding Restrictions Expire
Planned Parenthood clinics have regained the ability to bill Medicaid for non-abortion services following the expiration of a one-year funding pause. This change comes after a provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which barred the organization from receiving reimbursements, officially ended. Medicaid funding resumed for services like contraception and STI screenings on July 5. The restoration of access occurred because congressional Republicans did not pass an extension to the previous restrictions. The resumption of funding has caused a deepening rift between the GOP and anti-abortion leaders who are frustrated by the expiration. These leaders expressed anger that the defunding period was allowed to lapse, allowing the organization to once again access federal reimbursements for its healthcare services.
