Following Arizona's lead, Indiana became the second state...

...in recent weeks to hold off on implementing its Medicaid work requirements program, Gateway to Work. The state said it remains committed to the program, but will wait on a federal court decision on the program's legality. Work requirements in Arkansas and Kentucky have already been blocked by judges who ruled the programs do not suit the original purpose of Medicaid, and that CMS did not consider how many needy beneficiaries could lose coverage. Indiana currently serves 1,370,084 Medicaid members, with 365,146 enrolled in the Healthy Indiana Plan, the state's Medicaid expansion effort and the population that would have been affected by the work requirement.
