#Maine #FamilyPlanning will close its primary care practice at end of October

#MainePublic | By Patty Wight
Published October 1, 2025

"Maine Family Planning says it cannot sustain its primary care practice beyond this month.

"The nonprofit says it faced an impossible decision after losing $2 million in #Medicaid funding under a new federal law. That means 800 patients in #Aroostook and #Hancock counties will now need to find new primary care providers.

"The law bans health providers who also offer #abortions from being reimbursed by Medicaid.

“ 'The cruel and dangerous law has put us in an impossible situation,' President and CEO George Hill said in a written statement. 'Discharging and turning away vulnerable patients strikes at the very heart of MFP’s reputation as a trusted community provider that has been able to serve patients of any means for more than 50 years.'

"As a result, #MaineFamilyPlanning says they've been providing primary care to Medicaid patients in #EllsworthME, #HoultonME, and #PresqueIsleME free of charge since July."

Trump’s Medicaid and Social Program Cuts Cause Backlash Among His Own Supporters

This ain’t about responsibility, it’s about abandoning working folks for ideological purity. Trump’s cuts hit his base hard, exposing the cruel truth: small government means less help when people actually need it. No surprise they're pissed now.

Trump’s Medicaid and Social Program Cuts Cause Backlash Among His Own Supporters

Funny how the punch lands hardest on the very crowd that cheered it. Their blind faith in promises without foresight is exactly what’s fueling this backlash. Reality bites sharper than expected, doesn’t it?
