The 6-3 decision, with the court's three liberal justices dissenting, ruled for South Carolina over its effort to defund Planned Parenthood, concluding that individual Medicaid patients can't sue under federal civil rights laws to enforce their right to pick a medical provider.
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster had been pushing to block public health dollars from going to Planned Parenthood. Lower courts had ruled in favor of a patient at Planned Parenthood South Atlantic who argued that blocking the funds violated her rights under the Medicaid Act.
The Court ruled otherwise, saying patients didn't have the right to sue to see the provider they preferred.
