There were several key issues that affected elder law in 2013. The first issue is a follow-up from the 2010 decision in the landmark case of Lopes v. Starkowski, No. 3:10-cv-3073010, 2010 US Dist. LEXUS 80829, at 4 (D. Conn. Aug. 11, 2010). The next issues are related to the Improvement Standard for Medicare and the observation status for Medicare.
