A federal judge has blocked Kentucky from instituting the first-ever Medicaid work requirements, potentially dealing a major blow to the Trump administration’s efforts to scale back the health care program for the poor. The decision Friday afternoon came in response to a lawsuit filed by several advocacy groups on behalf of 16 Kentucky Medicaid enrollees who protested the work requirement and other provisions of the Kentucky plan, including additional costs on enrollees.
