Medicaid Enrollees Fear Losing Health Coverage if Congress Enacts Work Requirements
- Congress recently passed a bill requiring many Medicaid enrollees to work, volunteer, or attend school at least 80 hours monthly to maintain coverage.
- This work requirement stems from ongoing efforts, including South Dakota's 2022 expansion vote and proposals to impose such conditions on expansion enrollees.
- Advocates and enrollees expressed concerns that administrative burdens and verification processes may cause many, including seriously ill people, to lose coverage despite some exemption rules.
- The Congressional Budget Office estimated roughly 5 million nationwide could lose Medicaid under the bill, while enrollees like Lexy Mealing fear losing benefits vital to their cancer treatment.
- If passed, the policy may reduce Medicaid enrollment and savings are projected, but it risks increasing uninsured rates and straining health care access for vulnerable populations.
