Arkansas and Kentucky officials are vowing to continue the fight to implement work requirements in their Medicaid programs despite a US District Court judge striking down the mandates
Asa Hutchinson, the Republican governor of Arkansas, said Thursday that he asked the Trump administration to appeal the judge's decision and ask for an expedited decision."I remain fully committed to a work requirement and we are in this for the long-haul because we believe it is the right policy," Hutchinson said at a news conference."There should be consequences if people don't exercise responsibility.
Most don't have to report monthly because they work, have dependent children, are medically frail or are otherwise exempt.Fewer than 1,750 people reported meeting the requirement in February, but the majority did so by saying they already met the work mandate in the food stamp program, according to the latest state data.
