Congratulations to attorney Patrick J. Loughren of Pennsylvania for his victory in Tristani v. Richman, a medicaid subrogation case.

I don't have a lot of time today to dig through this case, which is 50 pages long and denser than a fruitcake, but this is, in my opinion, and "extension" on Ahlborn.  also, it addresses that tricky part of Ahlborn stemming from the "stipulation" of the meds and the "either/or' aspect of the case as presented to  SCOTUS.

Here is a good summary from Med Law Blog by Michael Cassidy:
