Disabled Women from Connecticut Sue the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Over Cut Medicaid Coverage Under Trump Administration
Two Connecticut women with disabilities have sued the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services over Medicaid coverage lost to a Trump administration rule change issued the day after the 2020 election.
While the country was focused on the ballot count, Medicaid administrators in every state were being ordered to cut people’s benefits, the lawsuit charges.
One of the plaintiffs, Brenda Moore, a 57-year-old, New Haven grandmother, fears being placed into a nursing home when her home aide benefits end permanently on August 31. Moore relies on an aide for roughly 40 hours a week because she has trouble walking or moving due to a serious vascular disease.
