The number of children with insurance coverage is falling as anti-immigration rhetoric by the Trump administration grows, according to a new report.
For the first time since 2008, the number of uninsured children has increased, according to the report issued Tuesday by Georgetown University's Center for Children and Families.
Medicaid Health Plans of America and the Kaiser Family Foundation have also noted drops in Medicaid enrollment, but they say the trend is tied to rising employment rates and better wages.

A proposed rule change affecting immigrants seeking green cards could put medical insurance coverage at risk for millions of U.S. citizen children with noncitizen parents, a D.C.-based think tank says in a new study.
The government has proposed redefining who might be declared a "public charge" — a federal designation for people it believes are overly dependent on federally funded social services. Under the proposed changes, immigrants who are "likely at any time" to become a public charge could be ineligible to get visas and green cards that give them legal permanent residency.

Currently, participation in Medicaid doesn't affect a person's ability to get a green card — but under a new Trump administration proposal, it might. A proposed change to the "public charge" rule would allow immigration officials to consider some immigrants' likelihood of using Medicaid, food stamps and housing programs, among other things, when deciding whether they should be able to become legal permanent residents — also known as getting a green card. The use of those programs could also weigh against people looking to extend their visas to stay in the U.S. and those seeking to change the types of visas they’re using.

Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Arkansas and the federal government have given different reasons why a judge should throw out a lawsuit that challenges a requirement for some Medicaid recipients to hold jobs or participate in other approved activities.
In a court filing late Friday, attorneys with the U.S. Department of Justice argued that such requirements further the goal of the Medicaid program by allowing states to "experiment with ways to stretch limited Medicaid resources and thus maximize coverage."

The GOP-led legislature is moving ahead to strip power from the state of Wisconsin's incoming Democratic governor and attorney general, with votes looming.
If the last-minute package successfully passes, Democrats would likely be unable to roll back outgoing Gov. Scott Walker's Medicaid eligibility restrictions and withdraw the state from a lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act — despite campaign vows to do exactly that.
