On Tuesday, November 30, 2021, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in American Hospital Association v. Becerra.

The petitioners ask the Court whether Chevron allows the Department of Health and Human Services to set reimbursement rates for hospital groups and whether 42 U.S.C. 1395I(t)(12) precludes the petitioners' suit.
