A coalition of 25 states and Washington, D.C., filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s administration for its strict interpretation of new Medicaid work requirements included in the One Big Beautiful Bill.
The lawsuit, filed in federal district court in Massachusetts, claims a new June 3 rule from the Health and Human Services Department and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services forces “vulnerable Medicaid members” to “jump through unnecessary administrative hoops to get and retain life-saving healthcare coverage.”
CMS and HHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
