The Court's Argument in the Medicaid Case Is Absurd

Sally Kohn: The argument is that the states here couldn't realistically forego all of their Medicaid spending because it's too important. She says, "The financial inducement Congress has chosen is much more than relatively mild encouragement" Kohn: If you don't agree with those terms, you don't get funding for the program. To say that is a reasonable requirement is to put it lightly, she writes.
