Why?!?
This was just over the right to sue.
From the dissent:
whether Medicaid recipients have a private right of action to challenge a States determination of qualified Medicaid providers under 42 U. S. C. §1396a(a)(23) and Rev. Stat. §1979, 42 U. S. C. §1983. Five Circuits have held that Medicaid recipients have such a right, and one Circuit has held that they do not.* The last three Circuits to consider the question have them- selves been divided.
They Supremes did not rule in the issue.
They just declined to clarify the right to sue.
This is a nothing burger.

That’s not the way Planned Parenthood sees it. The states of Kansas and Louisiana wanted to be able to stop all Medcaid funding to Planned Parenthood. Since the Supreme Court is allowing lower court rulings to stand, those states will not be allowed to stop Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthod.
