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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It would not be feasible for the State to assert that it could create a federal reimbursement obligation by simply funding itself certain expenditures for which federal reimbursement clearly is unavailable. But it is equally implausible that court injunctions erroneously ordering state funding despite the fact that federal funding was unavailable could somehow create an obligation for HHS under Title XIX.... The [State] simply makes too much of the term “cooperative federalism.” The phrase is merely descriptive of this unique funding scheme; it is not a tool by which a court can remedy every inequity arising out of the Medicaid program. Nor is the term “cooperative federalism” a vague constitutional provision to which this Court is obligated to give meaning in all circumstances; in fact, the words do not even appear in Title XIX.”
