(Salem, OR) -- Oregon is joining 24 states in a lawsuit against the federal government that claims the Medicaid work requirement is unconstitutional. While the change was part of the President's Big Beautiful Bill passed last year, the government this month issued rules for its implementation. The suit argues the work requirement unduly affects frail Medicaid recipients, violates the Administrative Procedure Act, and fails to adequately consider the significant harms that will be imposed on states and healthcare providers.
