Missouri Planned Parenthood affiliates challenge state law removing their Medicaid funding.

Missouri Planned Parenthood affiliates have filed legal challenges against a new state law that removes their Medicaid funding, preventing the organization from being reimbursed for healthcare services to low-income patients. The law, signed by Governor Mike Parson in May, aims to exclude Planned Parenthood from participating in the healthcare benefits program, which provides medical support to low-income individuals. The legal action taken by Planned Parenthood aims to reverse this decision and reestablish the clinics' inclusion in the Medicaid program.
