Summary
Federal courts are backing new Medicaid work requirements that could strip coverage from millions—states must enforce 80 hours of work, volunteering, or school monthly or risk losing benefits. Democratic-led states pushed back, citing hardship for the medically vulnerable and steep implementation costs, but a judge dismissed their claims, noting the feds cover 90% of setup costs and Congress set the deadline. With estimates of 3–7 million losing coverage—and potentially more over time—the ruling could reshape healthcare access nationwide.
