- Judge rejects states’ bid to block Medicaid work rules
A federal judge denied 25 Democratic-led states' request to block Medicaid work requirements, upholding a January 1 deadline for implementation. The rule, part of a Trump-era law, mandates 80 hours of monthly work, education, or volunteering for Medicaid recipients in 42 states and D.C. The states argued the new 'medically frail' exemption is too narrow and would burden patients with severe illnesses.
