“experimental, pilot, or demonstration project[s]”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Stewart v. Azar · Stewart v. Azar“once a project has been approved by the Secretary [of HHS], it is the function of the courts only to determine whether his decision was arbitrary and capricious and lacking in rational basis .... Given the large degree of judgment vested in the Secretary with respect to the approval of section 1115 projects [“pilot” or demonstration projects], it is not for the court to deny the Secretary the right to approve a project merely because the court might in certain situations disagree with his judgment. That judgment is committed to the Secretary and must be sustained as long as he exercises it within the confines of the statute.”
