Democratic states sue over Medicaid work rules

Twenty-five Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit in a Massachusetts federal court against the Trump administration. The suit challenges new Medicaid work requirements, arguing that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) violated administrative law and congressional intent. Plaintiffs claim the exemptions for medically frail individuals are too narrow, potentially jeopardizing care for vulnerable Americans. This legal action seeks to toss out eligibility restrictions that states must implement by January 1.
