New Lawsuit Challenges Trump Administration’s Support for Medicaid Work Requirements

Opponents of the Trump administration’s changes to Medicaid, who recently persuaded a federal judge to block those changes in Kentucky, have filed a similar lawsuit aimed at Arkansas.  In June, Arkansas became the first state to begin phasing in requirements that thousands of poor residents must work at least 80 hours a month, look for a job, or otherwise engage in their community to start receiving Medicaid or keep it. The suit, filed Tuesday on behalf of three poor Arkansans with significant medical problems, seeks to stop those rules. (Amy Goldstein, Washington Post)
