Rose Broderick reports on the health policies and technologies that govern people with disabilities’ lives. A lawsuit targeting a landmark disability law has received new life after nine states filed an update that seeks to undercut federal mandates that people with disabilities receive care in their communities. Several states withdrew from the litigation in 2025, after President Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services nixed that update and published other rules that restricted care for transgender minors and adults. The lawsuit’s outcome could have major implications for millions of Americans, especially after Congress voted in 2025 to slash state Medicaid funding, a major source of care for people with disabilities.
