Brett Kavanaugh sides with liberal justices in declining to hear Planned Parenthood d

[Chris]

Found what the decision was about, who can bring suit:

The issue is who has the right to challenge a state’s Medicaid funding decisions, private individuals or only the federal government. The states say that the Medicaid program, a joint venture of federal and state governments to provide health care to poorer Americans, makes clear that only the Secretary of Health and Human Services can intervene, by withholding money from a state.

Most lower federal courts have found that private parties can challenge Medicaid funding decisions in court, although the federal appeals court in St. Louis rejected a similar court challenge and allowed Arkansas to end its contract with Planned Parenthood. A split among federal appeals courts is often a reason for the Supreme Court to step in.

Obviously, I support the States in this case. Generally speaking, the US needs more State control and less federal interference in local affairs.

Would you?

Me? I'm not on Medicaid. No one I raised ever was. It can be dropped by my state and should be.

[Captdon]

Do you understand what the fallout from that would be for all people, not only for women?

For me nothing would change. That's true of most people.

I'm not responsible for your healthcare. You are.

Would you?

I wouldn't care if they did. I only pay into it and get nothing in return
