Portland, Min – A network of medical clinics that serve the low -income population in Maine said on Wednesday that it closes the initial care operations due to the Trump administration’s discounts for abortion providers.
President Donald Trump’s bill and taxes, known as ” Beautiful beautiful bill“Medicaid’s money from family planning, the largest abortion provider in the country. The teachers in the draft law have also stopped financing from family planning in Main, a much smaller provider that provides other medical services in the rural state mostly.
The network’s family planning in Maine had informed nearly 1,000 primary care patients that he would not provide an initial care service that starts from October 31. She said the loss of Medicaid financing took about $ 2 million from payment from the network and was no longer able to maintain primary care.
“The network will continue to see patients who need to care for family planning, regardless of the insurance status, as long as we are able to do so.” She said that the group also provides birth control, testing sexually transmitted diseases, cancer shows and routine obgyn visits.
“We have fallen into this network because we provide abortion care as part of a full set of sexual and reproductive health care in 18 sites. We are proud to provide this care,” said George Hill, President and Executive Family Executive Director of Maine.
Hill said that of 17,535 visits to the 18th Health Center and the Mobile Health Unit in Min in 2024, it was 13 % for primary care services.

The network has appealed a higher court, but it has not yet received a response. Hill said that the legal battle would continue.
Family planning in Maine is one of three health organizations throughout the country.

It targets groups that provide abortion and receive more than 800,000 dollars annually in payment of Madikid. Medicaid was not really not covering the miscarriage.
