SPLC Sues Trump Administration Over Radical Medicaid Changes



The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is suing the Trump administration over its approval of sweeping changes to Medicaid law, which the organization claims will endanger the health care of tens of thousands of low-income individuals and families in Kentucky. 

The SPLC also noted that the state’s recently approved waiver will result in the imposition of premiums and cost sharing, “lockouts,” benefit cuts, and a work requirement, that, by the state’s own admission, will result in substantial reductions in coverage. 

This is the first lawsuit to challenge a Trump administration Medicaid waiver approval.
