The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that states can bar Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood .
The federal government and many states already block using Medicaid funds to cover abortion.
The state-federal health insurance program for lower-income people does pay for other services from Planned Parenthood , including birth control, cancer screenings and testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections.
The ruling comes at a moment when Congress is considering blocking Planned Parenthood from receiving federal Medicaid funding.
But over the same time period, some clinics have closed and funds that help people obtain abortion have said it's hard to stretch their money to cover the added cost of travel. ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation .
