US judge blocks Trump rule making chronically ill prove 'medical frailty' for Medicaid

US District Judge Richard Stearns has blocked a Trump administration rule that would have required chronically ill people on Medicaid, the public health insurance programme for low-income individuals, to prove they are 'medically frail' to qualify for work exemptions. The judge sided with 25 states and the District of Columbia, which had sued the administration in June.
