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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Patients who are denied Medicare coverage are responsible for paying for their own physical therapy through insurance, personal savings or contributions from family members_ In such circumstances, many patients forgo medically necessary physical therapy because they or their families believe that they cannot afford to pay for such therapy themselves .... A patient’s recovery may be jeopardized - In some cases, ... recovery is also inhibited by the emotional distress that may result from a denial of Medicare coverage.”
