25 States Sue Trump Over Medicaid Work Requirements, Call Exemptions 'Frail'

Mother Jones—Twenty-five states have filed suit against the Trump administration over its new Medicaid work requirement rule, arguing that the exemptions built into the policy are inadequate and will strip coverage from millions of low-income Americans. Democratic attorneys general leading the coalition say the rule is legally vulnerable and describe its hardship exemption language as dangerously weak. The lawsuit adds to a mounting legal front against administration health-care rollbacks. Courts have previously blocked similar work requirement rules, creating legal precedent that challengers hope to leverage.
