Court narrows ADA protections for many disabled Americans
The Supreme Court ruled the Americans with Disabilities Act generally does not cover people with poor eyesight or other correctable conditions while approving a narrow ruling that may require states to move mentally disabled patients from hospitals to more integrated home settings. The decision, part of a four-justice term, leaves questions about the act's reach. Some say it limits employment-based discrimination suits for those with easily correctable impairments, while others see partial protection for mentally ill patients.

Medicare cuts hit Greenville Hospital System finances
Federal Medicare reductions will cost Greenville Hospital System about 32 million dollars over five years. Officials say the Balanced Budget Act lowers projected Medicare spending by 193 billion over the period, with this year alone 5.3 million less in reimbursements. Medicare accounts for 42 percent of revenues, with Medicaid at 26 percent, but trustees say shortfalls won’t create insurmountable problems and a surplus remains likely. So far this year net revenues run about 8.1 million below expectations.
