25 states and D.C. sue Trump administration over new Medicaid work requirements
By
Ali Swenson
Summary
Democrats in 25 states and Washington, D.C. filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over new Medicaid work requirements set to take effect January 1. The lawsuit, led by state attorneys general and governors, argues that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services overstepped its legal authority with guidance requiring certain Medicaid enrollees to work, volunteer, or attend school to maintain coverage. The plaintiffs contend the rules will block eligible Americans from accessing healthcare, and a new definition of "medical frailty" has created confusion. The Trump administration has not yet responded to requests for comment.
