Etheredge v. Nebraska DHHS, District Court of Lancaster County, Nebraska

Executive Summary

Nebraska’s Medicaid agency requires people eligible for Medicaid expansion to jump through administrative hoops and comply with requirements that do not apply to other beneficiaries. This violates Initiative 427, the Medicaid expansion law that was approved by Nebraska citizens. Through this lawsuit, we are striving to ensure that beneficiaries eligible for expansion have the same access to benefits that other Medicaid beneficiaries do, as Nebraska voters intended.
