Texas officially kicking Planned Parenthood out of Medicaid
Hasta la vista!
After more than a year, Texas is officially kicking planned parenthood out of the state’s Medicaid program!
Of course, planned parenthood will seek a preliminary injunction in an ongoing lawsuit wiled November 2015, following the state’s original threats to take action against them.
The fight over Medicaid funding will now play out in federal court in Austin, where planned parenthood preemptively filed a lawsuit a year ago seeking to block Texas’s efforts. At the time, it was thought that planned parenthood affiliates would be cut from the Medicaid program as early as Dec. 8, 2015.
But the lawsuit sat virtually idle for a year because Texas had not delivered its final legal notice to defund the organization.
Federal officials have already warned Texas that pushing planned parenthood out of the state’s Medicaid program could put the state at odds with federal law. And federal courts in other states have ruled that planned parenthood cannot be legally kicked out of Medicaid, but they are not Texas either!
