Sen. Lesser Statement on Delay to Medicaid Work Requirements

Today, State Senator Matt Lesser, Senate Chair of the Human Services Committee issued a statement on the announcement that the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is delaying the start of work requirements for Medicaid until June 30, 2027.

“The MAGA attacks on Medicaid and health care have been disgraceful and hurtful to millions of Americans. It’s a big part of why the Republican Party was trounced in the elections. I am hopeful that today’s pause provides an indication that Donald Trump is hearing the American people and will join Congressional Democrats in completely repealing his Big Awful Bill. If not, they should compel him to do so.”
