We’re suing the Trump administration for approving Medicaid work requirements in Arkansas. bit.ly/2Pafal9
Most people covered by Medicaid in Arkansas already work. Those who don’t are either children, have a disability or are taking care of family members. splcenter.org/news/2018/08/1…
Take Cesar Ardon. He had a tumor removed last year, is self-employed with unpredictable hours. He uses Medicaid to cover the cost of care for the tumor removal & other health problems — but almost lost it because he doesn’t always get 20 hrs/wk. He’s a plaintiff in the suit.
Part of the problem is that Cesar Ardon doesn’t have reliable internet. He can’t always log on to the Arkansas Medicaid website, which is the only place to report the hours he works. "I own a computer, but I am often unable to afford my internet bill," he said. 
"Arkansas’s Medicaid waiver plan has got the situation completely backwards. Cutting the health benefits of people who cannot afford medical insurance or don’t have access to the internet or a computer will not make them healthier." — SPLC's Sam Brooke bit.ly/2Pafal9
Allowing states to impose work requirements on federal Medicaid programs is just an effort to curtail access to health insurance coverage for our nation’s most vulnerable people. splcenter.org/news/2018/01/1…
We already sued the Trump administration over Medicaid work requirements in Kentucky. We won that lawsuit in June. splcenter.org/news/2018/06/2…
Now we’re suing in Arkansas, too. Medicaid has always been a crucial safety net — one that shouldn’t be undercut by work requirements that prevent people from accessing the health care they need. bit.ly/2Pafal9
