In ''Whitney v. Heckler'', a group of physicians challenged the constitutionality of the [[Deficit Reduction Act]], which imposed a temporary freeze on the fees that non-participating physicians could charge Medicare patients. The [[Eleventh Circuit]] held that this freeze did not violate [[substantive due process]] based on its findings that:

*it bore a reasonable relation to a valid legislative purpose
*it was neither arbitrary nor discriminatory
*it was not a [[bill of attainder]] because it did not inflict punishment on the [[plaintiff]] physicians.
