title: Ready, aim, litigate. AHA takes feds to court to stop HHS from eliminating Medicaid loophole.
abstract: The American Hospital Association and several other groups are doing their best to stop HHS from eliminating the upper payment limit loophole, and the AHA is even suing HHS, but time is running out for the payment plan worth $27 billion over the next 10 years to State Medicaid programs. This is only the fourth time in the past decade that the AHA has sued the federal government.
