Gresham v. Becerra, D.D.C., D.C. Circuit and, Supreme Court

Executive Summary

Arkansas residents enrolled in Medicaid filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging its approval of a Section 1115 waiver which would allow Arkansas to impose onerous conditions on eligibility, including work requirements, and eliminate retroactive coverage. These changes will terminate Medicaid coverage of tens of thousands of low-income individuals and families in the State.
