It was a 32-page doc, basically destroying the defendants claims and explaining why the plaintiffs would likely succeed in all of theirs if this went any further. Injunction granted—here is the last sentence of the ruling: "Defendants shall immediately cease all implementation or enforcement of the Interim Final Rule with Comment Period as to any Medicare- and Medicaid certified providers and suppliers within the States of Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming."

I'm not sure, to be honest. I do know there is another lawsuit similar to this one, that was brought by the Ag of Louisiana, along with another 10-12 other states just recently. I haven't been following that one as closely, but I wonder if this ruling will help. The best case scenario in my opinion is that CMS realizes they don't have a chance, if enough states bring suits, and the back all the way down—nationwide. Like OSHA did.
Here is some info on that other lawsuit—and it looks like 3 other states just joined the 11 original states very recently. So, it's picking up some steam.
