Health Law Daily Wrap Up, SUPREME COURT NEWS—Medicaid work requirements case on hold, (Mar 11, 2021)
By WK Editorial Staff
The Supreme Court on Thursday called off an oral argument that had been scheduled for late March on the legality of some states’ efforts to impose work requirements on Medicaid recipients, which had been approved under former President Donald Trump.
In a one-line docket entry, the Supreme Court pulled the consolidated cases Cochran v. Gresham and Arkansas v. Gresham from its March hearing calendar, which it had previously granted a petition earlier (see Recent petitions and cases pending High Court review, January 13, 2021).
President Joe Biden's Justice Department had requested that Supreme Court vacate the two lower court decisions while the administration began the process of unwinding the Trump-era rule.
