Work requirements neither encourage employment nor create a healthy, stable workforce. They are nothing more than a not-so-subtle backdoor to cut Medicaid and deny individuals the health care they need. In 2018, Arkansas became the first state to implement a Medicaid work-reporting requirement. Officials promised it would boost employment among low-income adults. It did not. Instead, the program stripped health care coverage from over 18,000 Arkansans. In 2024, Georgia launched a similar program requiring monthly work reports from adults earning up to 100 percent of the federal poverty line (about $15,000 a year). Despite more than 110,000 people wanting to enroll, fewer than 5,500 made it through the process. (fb)
