LITTLE ROCK – Governor Asa Hutchinson issued the following statement on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to hear the case on Arkansas Works:

“I am grateful the U.S. Supreme Court will weigh the merits of this case. The ability of a state to conduct Medicaid demonstration projects like Arkansas Works is of national significance. It has always been our goal to provide healthcare to an expanded population of Arkansans while also providing tools for them to achieve economic stability and independence."
