The Supreme Court refused Monday to temporarily stop part of the law that added a prescription drug benefit to Medicare, a defeat for states that claim they may get stuck with the bill. The justices also said that the fight belonged in a lower court, not the Supreme Court, agreeing with the Bush administration, which said states should receive more money, not less, under the law.

Justices declined without comment to temporarily stop part of the law that added a prescription drug benefit to Medicare, the federal health insurance program for the elderly and disabled. States were contesting a requirement that they pay the federal government for some expenses.
