Supreme Court Upholds Rights of Nursing Home Patients and Families.

The Supreme Court upheld the right of people with disabilities, older adults, and their families to sue federally-funded programs like Medicaid when they are not fairly and safely administered. The decision means that the family of Gorgi Talevski can move forward with their lawsuit against an Indiana health care system. Disability and aging advocates celebrated the decision, which rejected the argument that people cannot sue government programs that violate government spending. The decision is a rare victory for individuals with disabilities and low-income individuals receiving public safety net programs.
