Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether Spending Clause statutes ever give rise to privately enforceable rights under § 1983, and if so, what is the proper framework for deciding when they do?

2. Whether, assuming Spending Clause statutes ever give rise to privately enforceable rights under § 1983, the Medicaid Act's any-qualified-provider provision creates a privately enforceable right to challenge a state's determination that a provider is not qualified to provide certain medical services.

Question Presented (AI Summary)
