Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson stood firm in the face of criticism from advocates who say the requirements aren't incentivizing work but rather just adding hurdles to get government aid. "We will continue to do everything we can to ensure those who qualify for the program keep their coverage," Hutchinson said, "but we will also make sure those who no longer qualify are removed." Medicaid news comes out of Kentucky, Idaho and Massachusetts, as well.
