Mrs. Daniel and others sued to stop several violations of federal law in the management of the Medicaid health care program for low-income people.
Oak Ridge attorney Lenny Croce, who represented Mrs. Daniel, explained that all professional health care managers in Tennessee, and many throughout the country, know about the Daniel case. As a result of Mrs. Daniel's leadership, thousands of families have stronger due-process rights, better access to transportation in rural areas and clearer standards for eligibility for health insurance. Croce said Mrs. Daniel left a tremendous legacy to thousands of the most vulnerable families in Tennessee.
