A new report shows more than 8,000 people have lost Medicaid coverage in Arkansas under new work requirements. We've been investigating links between Seema Verma, Trump's appointee in charge of Medicaid, and Arkansas. motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
We obtained a memo from CMS Administrator Seema Verma detailing the potential conflicts of interest from her consulting work for Arkansas. Former HHS Sec. Tom Price gave her a broad ethics waiver: documentcloud.org/documents/4418… 
In January, Arkansas officials expressed confidence they would get a Medicaid work requirement waiver - and pointed to conversations between the governor and Verma: arktimes.com/ArkansasBlog/a…
Through FOIA litigation, we also uncovered emails between Administrator Verma and Dennis Smith from the Arkansas Department of Human Services, which include Smith's thoughts and suggestions on healthcare legislation and Medicaid work requirements: americanoversight.org/document/hhs-r…
Verma received a preliminary draft of a presentation about Arkansas Medicaid work requirements “for discussion purposes” documentcloud.org/documents/4911…
We're continuing to investigate Administrator Verma's management of CMS - and you can see all of our FOIAs and track the investigation here: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
