Bonta Announces 33rd Trump Lawsuit on KQED, This One Targets Health Care Cuts | KQED
Briefly

Proposed changes to Medicaid under Trump would necessitate that enrollees demonstrate work, school attendance, or volunteerism for at least 80 hours monthly. Under this legislation, auto-reenrollment would be removed, the enrollment window would be shortened, and marketplace subsidies would be reduced. California has spent $5 million in legal actions against Trump, saving the state approximately $170 billion. Approximately 2 million Americans could potentially lose healthcare coverage due to these proposed changes, prompting the state's Attorney General to vow further legal action against unconstitutional measures.
Trump's proposed Medicaid changes would require enrollees to prove they work, attend school or volunteer at least 80 hours a month unless they qualify for exemptions, such as caring for a young child.
The bill would also eliminate auto-reenrollment, shorten the enrollment window and reduce marketplace subsidies.
Bonta estimates that at stake in this most recent lawsuit is around 2 million Americans who could lose access to healthcare under Trump's new legislation.
Bonta said his office isn't slowing down and will sue again anytime Trump "tramples over the Constitution."
