Litigation Content
Why This Matters:
Plaintiffs allege that defendants’ categorical deferral of about $259 million in Medicaid funding, and continued threats to withhold future funds, are ultra vires and violate the Administrative Procedure Act, the Fifth Amendment, and the Spending Clause. Medicaid is a joint federal-state program that provides health coverage to millions of people nationwide and accounts for a significant proportion of state budgets.
Potential Impact:
The sudden denial of, or delay in, federal Medicaid funding would compromise the state’s budget and force cuts to health coverage, care, or government services.
