Hospitals have functioned as independent freestanding corporate entities or divisions of a multihospital system, dependent usually on government funding and related programs (ex: Medicaid, Medicare, Blue Cross). With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and the Medicaid Expansion provisions read the following article 32 Hospitals sue Dept of Human and Health Services (https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/hospitals/32-hospitals-medicaid-non-expansion-states-sue-hhs-for-low-income-patient-supplements#:~:text=Thirty%2Dtwo%20hospitals%20operating%20in,low%2Dincome%20patient%20adjustments%20recalculated.) and then read the Supreme Court decision American Hospital Association v. Becerra (https://ballotpedia.org/American_Hospital_Association_v._Becerra)
Question:
In 2 or more pages in an APA-style case study paper, briefly analyze the implementation of the Medicaid Expansion provision and its effects on the public healthcare institutions within different states. Give a summary of the case, in your own words. Do you agree or disagree and why? What actions were taken in this case? Which laws are associated with this case? Who are the interested parties specifically? What could be the benefits AND consequences of this court ruling in a healthcare setting?
