We’re back with the final four decisions of a busy week: American Hospital Association v. Becerra (No. 20-1114), where the Court rebuked the Department of Health and Human Services for its method of reimbursing hospitals for prescription drugs in 2018 and 2019 (but without rebuking its own beleaguered Chevron test); Viking River Cruises v. Moriana (No. 20-1573), in which the Court held that…
