## Resource

The Trump administration’s new Medicaid rules demand that people with serious illnesses prove they can’t work to keep coverage, upending decades of medical-only eligibility and sparking nationwide outrage. States scramble to comply, facing impossible paperwork hurdles and risking coverage loss for the most vulnerable. Doctors are caught off guard, and 25 states have already sued, arguing the policy unfairly burdens patients and cripples state systems. Experts warn that bureaucratic roadblocks—not medical criteria—will push thousands off vital care.
