Appeals court overturns judge's ruling that blocked Texas from ousting Planned Parenthood from Medicaid

A federal appeals court issued a decision Thursday overturning a judge's 2017 ruling that Texas could not remove Planned Parenthood as a Medicaid provider. U.S. District Court Judge Sam Sparks wrote in that ruling that the state had acted "without cause" in terminating the reproductive health care organization from the program that provides health care to low-income Americans.
