## Resource

The Trump administration’s new Medicaid rules are forcing sick and disabled people into a bureaucratic maze — requiring proof of both a serious health condition and inability to work to qualify for work-exemption status. States that expanded Medicaid now face confusion and added paperwork, with 25 states and D.C. already suing. Experts warn millions could lose coverage, as healthcare providers — untrained and under-resourced — struggle to meet the new demands. While some suggest self-attestation and insurance data could help, the fear remains: paperwork barriers may leave vulnerable people without essential care.
