HEALTH AND HOSPITAL CORPORATION OF MARION 
CTY. v. TALEVSKI 
BARRETT, J., concurring 

they may suffice to demonstrate congressional intent to pre-
clude the remedy of suits under §1983”); Smith, 468 U. S., 
at 1011–1012 (§1983 suits unavailable “[i]n light of the com-
prehensive  nature  of  the  procedures  and  guarantees  set 
out” in the statute).  None of these features is necessarily 
determinative,  but  each  is  part  of  the  larger  picture  that 
courts must assess. 

Courts  must  tread  carefully  before  concluding  that
Spending Clause statutes may be enforced through §1983.
In this case, however, the Seventh Circuit correctly allowed 
Talevski’s §1983 suit to proceed.  I therefore join the Court’s
opinion in full.
