From law.com:
A federal appeals panel has declared that treating doctors don't have the final say in how much nursing care the state must provide children with disabilities under Medicaid.
Friday's ruling by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a district judge's decision that had said the state must provide the amount of nursing care that a North Georgia girl's doctor said she needs.
The opinion is very short, but it does present an interesting argument vis a vis doctors and government health care. I expect we will see far more litigation in this arena in the future.
