What You Missed at The Supreme Court this Week: Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic
—
This Case, In a Nutshell
“This case encompasses two key issues. First, it addresses whether a provision in the Medicaid Act entitles the beneficiary to choose any medical provider; second, if a Medicaid beneficiary can pick a provider that has been disqualified by the state.
While the state of South Carolina does not want abortion funding in their healthcare programs, Planned Parenthood insists that its state funding cannot be cut because women have the “right” to make Planned Parenthood their ‘chosen provider’ on the taxpayers’ dime.”
