What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

New work mandates for select Medicaid recipients will begin in January under President Donald Trump's major 2025 tax and policy legislation. While federal guidelines allow states to accept a participant's self-attestation for the first year, at least six states are requiring immediate medical documentation. Democrats in 25 states have filed lawsuits, arguing the new regulations are unreasonably restrictive.
