Texas has filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, seeking repayment of at least $17 million in Medicaid payments for health services provided before the organization was removed from the state's Medicaid program in 2021. Although abortion has been banned in Texas since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year, this case does not involve abortion but rather focuses on Medicaid reimbursements for other health services. Planned Parenthood argues that the lawsuit is an attempt to weaken the organization after years of Republican-led laws that restricted funding and imposed operational restrictions on its clinics.
