STAT+: 26 states sue to block Medicaid work requirements

26 states, including Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont, sued the federal government to block Medicaid work requirements, arguing they create an unfair bureaucratic maze and threaten healthcare access for vulnerable residents. The lawsuit challenges guidelines expected to cost hundreds of thousands in Massachusetts their health insurance, with Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell criticizing the 'burdensome requirements' imposed by the Trump Administration.
