A federal appeals court has struck down a Trump administration approval of a state plan to add work requirements to the healthcare program that helps with medical costs for some low-income people, known as Medicaid.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld a lower court’s ruling that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar has acted in an “arbitrary and capricious manner” when he approved Arkansas’s plan to add work and community engagement requirements to Medicaid.
