More than Two Dozen “Friend of the Court” Briefs Urge the Supreme Court to Preserve Medicaid as an Enforceable Right

WASHINGTON (Sept. 29, 2022)—On November 8, 2022, the United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Health and Hospital Corp. of Marion County v Talevski, a case that could determine the future of Medicaid’s vital legal guarantees and leave millions of Medicaid beneficiaries without access to health care. Twenty-five friend-of-the-court briefs urge the Court to preserve Medicaid’s legally enforceable rights. Briefs have been filed on behalf of the Talevski family, by current and former Members of Congress, former Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) officials, legal experts, health policy historians, public health experts, and a wide range of organizations and groups representing beneficiaries, as well as healthcare professionals and organizations serving Medicaid beneficiaries.
