Medicaid and Reproductive Health

A federal appeals court on Friday unanimously allowed the Trump administration to continue withholding Medicaid reimbursements from certain large abortion providers under a July law, rejecting a district court’s ruling that the measure unlawfully targeted Planned Parenthood. Writing for a three‑judge panel, Judge Gustavo A. Gelpí said Congress can set conditions on federal funds and that the law does not constitute illegal punishment; the case returns to the lower court for further proceedings.
