Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although the meaning of the phrase “on account of” as used in the statute is not entirely free from doubt, it would seem to us that the most obvious meaning is to prohibit state provisions designed to recoup state money spent on medical payments pursuant to the plan, . The same sentence in the statute which imposes the lien prohibition also prohibits any “adjustment or recovery (with some exceptions not here relevant) of any medical assistance correctly paid on behalf of [any] individual under the plan.” 42 U.S.C. § 1396a(a)(18). This strengthens the view that the concern of Congress was with state efforts (either by lien on the recipient’s property or direct action against him) to require the recipient, where possible, to make restitution of moneys spent on his behalf under the Title XIX program.”
