Trump Administration to Allow Work Requirements for Medicaid Recipients
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The White House said Thursday it will allow states to impose work
requirement rules on many recipients of Medicaid, the federally funded
healthcare program. The move could force low-income people in at least
10 states to find employment or risk losing access to healthcare. The
White House insists the change would only target so-called able-bodied
adults and would not affect children or people with disabilities.
