Medicaid Expansion I.NFIB v. Sebelius: Constitutionality of Medicaid Expansion under the Affordable Care Act
3
Constitutionality of Expansion Supreme Court holds in NFIB v. Sebelius: Medicaid expansion violates Congress’ spending power as unconstitutionally coercive of states because: 1.States not given adequate notice to voluntarily consent to expansion, and 2.HSS Secretary could potentially withhold all of a state’s existing federal Medicaid funds for non-compliance
4
Constitutionality of Expansion Medicaid Expansion is a “gun to the head” because the “threatened loss of over 10 percent of a state’s overall budget….is economic dragooning that leaves the states with no real option but to acquiesce.” - Sebelius, at 54.
5
Constitutionality of Expansion Coercive But......... Supreme Court fashions a “remedy” to overcome the coercion
6
Constitutionality of Expansion Supreme Court’s remedy for coercion: Remedy is to limit HHS Secretary’s power to withhold existing federal Medicaid funds for state non- compliance with Medicaid expansion Makes Medicaid expansion optional for states
