A federal judge ruled that Kentucky and Arkansas cannot require people to work in order to receive Medicaid health insurance coverage
In two closely watched cases, US District Court Judge James Boasberg Wednesday voided the administration's approvals of requests by Kentucky and Arkansas to mandate that low-income people work for benefits and kicked the matter back to the Department of Health & Human Services for further review. Boasberg also suspended the program in Arkansas, which began in June.
They mean that low-income people in Kentucky and Arkansas will maintain their health insurance coverage -- coverage that enables them to live, work, and participate as fully as they can in their communities. Coverage matters, plain and simple," said Jane Perkins, legal director at the National Health Law Program, one of the groups involved in both suits.
