WASHINGTON — The Obama administration prohibited Indiana on Wednesday from carrying out a state law that cuts off money for Planned Parenthood clinics providing health care to low-income women on Medicaid.
Dr. Donald Berwick, administrator of the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said the state law imposed impermissible restrictions on the freedom of Medicaid beneficiaries to choose health care providers.
But state officials said they intended to continue enforcing the law.
