Courtney Milan: I think everyone who was like "great, now every environmental group ever should sue!" underestimated how swiftly those groups would be dwarfed by the juggernauts who are already collecting billions and billions of dollars from us and want more.

Days after the Chevron ruling a corporate healthcare system - which doesn’t pay any taxes despite being a profit-driven business - is now suing Medicare so that they can collect more *tax dollars* w/o having to meet the standards of care set by CMS. Some CMS regulations may be silly but this is bad.

Hackensack Meridian sues HHS secretary in wake of Chevron rulingwww.beckershospitalreview.com Learn about the recent lawsuit filed by Hackensack Meridian Health against HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra challenging his interpretation of Medicare statutes.

Even someone who believes that Chevron deference was "incorrect" in an abstract sense would have to be able to see that the court's don't have the *capacity* to do what agencies do. This is more total work for fewer people, who are already overloaded. They're not dumb. They don't *want* it to work.

Yup. They just want to fuck over the administrative state.

That has been their stated goal all along.

I work a 100% medicaid funded job. ALJs are integral to the safe management of our system and protecting people’s access to care. The outcome of this ruling is a nightmare.
