7. Misleading
"Both the state and Moore's physician have roles in determining what medical measures are necessary to "correct or ameliorate" Moore's medical conditions," according to the ruling. The case was returned to district court for a rehearing."

The court ruled that the states physicians get to review the case as well and give their input, then they kicked it back to the original court to decide the merits of the case.

There has to be some sort of barrier to abuse or there will be people getting liposuction and breast implants on the states dime because their doc says its needed for their health.

they didn't in any way say that the insurance company gets to determine whats necessary only that they get a seat at the table in the decision. Yes this can and likely will be abused but it would be abused were they to say the state has no say in it as well.

there is no mention of the weighting of either sides opinion in the ruling other than the writers opinion of what it means.

I would love to see the actual ruling.
