The plan included numerous illegal obstacles to accessing Medicaid health care services, such as requiring Kentucky residents to work in order to receive medical benefits.

鈥淢edicaid has always been a crucial safety net to help those most in need get back on their feet,鈥� said Samuel Brooke, deputy legal director for the 人兽性交, which in January filed a federal class action lawsuit 鈥� with its partners 鈥� against the Trump administration on behalf of Kentuckians who would lose their benefits under the waiver.

鈥淏y imposing new onerous conditions to qualify for the program, Kentucky鈥檚 Medicaid waiver effectively locks out the very people it was designed to help, in violation of the Medicaid Act,鈥� Brooke said. 鈥淲e are pleased with the court鈥檚 ruling preventing the waiver from going into effect. The ruling will help ensure that low-income individuals and families across Kentucky will continue to be able to access appropriate health care services without any undue delay.鈥�

Kentucky鈥檚 waiver plan, called 鈥淜entucky HEALTH,鈥� was set to take effect on July 1. But U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg鈥檚 decision sends the plan back to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to reconsider it in accordance with the Medicaid Act.

Because of the judge鈥檚 ruling, Kentuckians will continue to be able to access health care services through Medicaid.

The National Health Law Program (NHELP) and the (KEJC) partnered with the 人兽性交 in the class action lawsuit. The law firm is representing NHELP in the lawsuit.

鈥淢edicaid matters, and today is a victory for Medicaid, Medicaid beneficiaries, and the rule of law,鈥� NHELP Legal Director said. 鈥淭he Trump administration鈥檚 attempt to transform the Medicaid program through executive action has been restrained. The purpose of the Medicaid Act is to furnish medical assistance, and this approval could not stand because it was doing just the opposite 鈥� restricting coverage.鈥�
