Citing ongoing legal challenges in other states, Arizona has...
...suspended implementation of its Medicaid work requirements
program, which was set to begin Jan. 1, according to an Oct. 17 letter from the
state to CMS. About 7% of Arizona's 1,730,071 Medicaid beneficiaries would have
been affected by the new program at launch. While work requirements have proved
a popular reform idea in many states, implementation of approved changes has
been rocky, as legal arguments in favor of the programs have not held up in
court, and administrative changes proved more of a strain on state budgets than
originally thought.
