How courts have described this case

- 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 regardless of previous 20 inpatient days Medicaid funding limitation, present 14 day limitation provided meaningful access
- 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
- holding that \adequate health care\ was too \amorphous\ a concept to define the government service or benefit to which disabled persons may assert a statutory right of access and accommodation
