Some states are considering changes to Medicaid eligibility requirements by requiring work or other $$community engagement$$ in order to receive benefits. A copy of a January $11,2018$ letter from CMS to State Medicaid Directors discussing this proposal is included in your required readings. Please read the CMS letter as part of this assignment $($along with the other required readings$)$ and answer the following questions:

How might a work requirement establish a right to health care for a Medicaid recipient?
