The Health 202: Trump administration heads to court to defend Medicaid work requirements
The Trump administration will appear today before a federal judge to defend one of its most consequential and controversial moves on health insurance — a green light for states to require their Medicaid enrollees to work or volunteer.
Whether it’s legal under federal law for states to impose such requirements is the key question at stake here. Under the state’s new rules, beneficiaries lose coverage if they don’t meet the requirements for three months within one year.Azar said Tuesday that HHS does “not yet have data as to why they fell off the program,” when queried about the Arkansas situation by Rep. Joe Kennedy .
“The low level of reporting is a strong warning signal that the current process may not be structured in a way that provides individuals an opportunity to succeed, with high stakes for beneficiaries who fail,” wrote Penny Thompson, chairman of the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission.
Partnership for America's Health Care Future -- the coalition of industry groups opposing all iterations of Medicare-for-all -- pushed back against Broussard's remarks. —In December, officials in the county at the center of New York’s worst measles outbreak in decades, were compelled to ban unvaccinated children from going to schools that had vaccination rates lower than 95 percent
Rockland county’s effort is the latest effort that exemplifies concern nationwide over the anti-vaccination movement. Rep. Barbara Lee asked the secretary if the administration had looked into the mental health implications of the separations. “If you understood and this administration understood the history of what this does to children and families over the years, you never would have done this," Lee said, citing the history of generational trauma related to slavery and slave trade.
