A federal appeals court rejects Trump's work rules for Medicaid
Red states that imposed Medicaid work requirements have discovered the policy doesn’t work and are reversing course.Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, a Democrat, canceled the state’s work requirements after taking office in January, reversing a policy contrived by his predecessor, conservative Republican Matt Bevin.
Arkansas and Kentucky, like other states considering work requirements, designed a program that would create steep administrative barriers for enrollees.In Arkansas, they would have to document their work or job search hours — a minimum of 80 hours a month was required to maintain Medicaid eligibility — and report them via a website that was often out of order and consistently inaccessible to those without a computer or internet connection.
The contest for worst Cabinet member of the Trump administration is what we might call “competitive.”
