How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that Maine may impose regulatory burdens on drug manufacturers who do not have a rebate agreement with the ROCKY MOUNTAIN FARMERS UNION V. COREY 23 state
• concluding that the Maine law at issue was valid in part because “Maine does not insist that manufacturers sell their drugs to a wholesaler for a certain price”
• holding that the extraterritoriality rule was “not applicable” to a Maine drug-rebate law because the law did not regulate the price of any out-of-state transactions or tie in-state prices to out-of-state prices
• noting that if Secretary would reject State’s amendment of its Medicaid plan, “the Secretary’s ruling would be presumptively valid”
• noting that the states have “substantial discretion” in setting certain requirements of their Medicaid programs (quoting Alexander v. Choate, 469 U.S. 287, 303, 105 S.Ct. 712, 83 L.Ed.2d 661 (1985))
• considering extraterritorial effect as an independent, per se ground for a statute’s invalidation under the dormant Commerce Clause
