Planned Parenthood sues Texas over health care exclusion

SNIP- Last month, the state of Texas lost Medicaid funding for the state's Women's Health Program, a Medicaid-waiver program. The federal government was forced to revoke the funding because Texas refused to comply with federal law in its insistence on cutting Planned Parenthood clinics out of the provider loop for the program.

Now, eight Planned Parenthood chapters are directly challenging the state. They have filed suit Wednesday to block the state from cutting off access to its clinics through the Women's Health Program.
