  • holding that Medicaid \benefits\ under the Rehabilitation Act [and hence ADA] are \the individual services offered\ not the \amorphous objective of 'adequate health care'\
  • holding that 14-day limitation on inpatient hospital stays does not deny disabled individuals meaningful access to Medicaid services
  • holding that a ceiling on the number of inpatient hospital days paid for by Tennessee's Medicaid program did not deny the disabled meaningful access to Medicaid services

  • holding that reduction of inpatient coverage for class of Medicaid recipients did not violate Rehabilitation Act without questioning propriety of class action under Rehabilitation Act
