Federal court strikes down Trump administration's Medicaid work requirements

In his original approval letter to Arkansas, Azar said that the program would"encourage beneficiaries to obtain and maintain employment or undertake other community engagement activities that research has shown to be correlated with improved health and wellness."

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a Republican who signed off on the program, said that the purpose of the law was"to help families be independent," which he claimed is what drove the state to adopt the policy and require that beneficiaries find work. Instituted in 2018, Arkansas was the first state to adopt work requirements for Medicaid, a program that ultimatelybefore a federal court order blocked the measure in March 2019. Arkansas Works required"able-bodied" adults to work, study, volunteer or participate in community activities in order to receive health insurance through the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid Expansion.

. Kentucky — which was originally named in the lawsuit — rescinded its plan after Gov. Andy Beshear, a Democrat, took office late last year.Anafter New Hampshire adopted work requirements nearly 17,000 people of the approximately 25,000 people subject to the measure were in danger of losing their health benefits before the state government decided to suspend the program.

It's shameful how Democrats support not having a job and living off government.

I work in the food industry with several people that are receiving government funding. They refuse to work more than 25 hours because they will lose their funding. They say why work there extra hours to obtain what is being given to them.

Trump is a champion of work requirements. Unless that involves actually paying your employees..

Don't worry lazy people. You can still sit on your butts and get your food stamps next month.

On to the Supreme Court - you want the King’s shilling you got to carry the King’s musket!

When Michigan?

What president?

realDonaldTrump right now..

Are you seriously celebrating people not working at the expense of the president’s ego? High brow journalism at its finest.

Good.
