Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of the recipients' challenge to the discontinuation of Medicaid funding for GED electric-shock treatment.

The Court also held that GED was not a covered service under either federal or Delaware law and declined to reach the ADA claim because it was not fairly presented below.
