KBJ's Dissent In This Morning's Hospital Reimbursements Case... Is Correct. But It Must Await Another Time, To Be Righted...

I candidly don't have the bandwidth to explain in the next few weeks. . . why KBJ is right and her brethren are. . . wrong.

But do note and bookmark her dissent in this case. In a year or two, it will be the majority view. And this is power-alley health care delivery stuff, in the US -- even in the chaos of Tangerine 2.0:

. . .I suspect that such a legislative fix would not be too difficult to craft. But Congress would not need to go that extra mile if this Court’s interpretive practices would just take care to evaluate the text of a statute alongside any indisputable legislative objectives. Here, we should have easily concluded that, for purposes of the disproportionate-share formula used to reimburse hospitals, patients are “entitled to” SSI benefits when they are eligible for and enrolled in the SSI program, as Congress undoubtedly intended. . . .

Now you know. . . just too much violence being done to the Constitution in all the asylee cases to spend a whole morning on this. Onward. [And -- to top it off --my triathlete/iron man 30-year old guy gets in this afternoon from Oregon. Woot -- so, with his sibs, we have plays, concerts, art openings and museums ahead -- through Derby Day '25. So I may be scarce from here on. Grin!]
