Newsweek -   A coalition of 25 states and Washington, D.C., is suing the Trump administration over new Medicaid work requirements they say could cause eligible low-income Americans to lose health coverage and unlawfully limit protections for vulnerable recipients.

The legal challenge targets an interim final rule released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in June that would require many adults with Medicaid expansion coverage to prove they are working, studying, volunteering or completing other approved activities for at least 80 hours a month in order to keep their health insurance.

The lawsuit highlights a familiar fault line in American politics: the tension between expanding access to government benefits and imposing conditions on their use.
