What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns blocked a rule from the Trump administration that narrowed exceptions to Medicaid work requirements. The rule required chronically ill people on Medicaid to show their conditions also “significantly impair” their ability to comply with work requirements. Stearns sided with the District of Columbia and a coalition of 25 states that had sued the administration over the change.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The ruling prevents the enforcement of new Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services guidance. The plaintiffs argued that the stricter rule would prevent eligible Americans from accessing necessary care. The judge noted that the states faced the burden of costly and intensive alterations to their eligibility verification systems.
