A pair of related stories on NPR on the question of whether the Americans with Disabilities Act requires that Medicaid pay for care at home for those who do not require care in a nursing home environment. The case of Olmstead v. L.C., decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1999, is cited in support of that position.

Several law review articles on this topic by Michael Perlin, who has a penchant for titles based on Dylan lyrics:
