Md. Leaders Warn GOP Reconciliation Bill Could Impact Health Care, Economy
- Maryland Medicaid director Ryan Moran warned Tuesday that current Capitol Hill budget proposals could cause tens of thousands to lose health coverage and harm the economy.
- These proposals include Medicaid work requirements modeled on food stamp rules, mandating 80 hours monthly for nonpregnant adults aged 19-64, with federal guidelines due by 2026 and state implementation by 2027.
- About 1.5 million Marylanders receive Medicaid, including almost half of the state's children, with roughly three-fourths of enrollees working and 125,000 providers supporting local economies.
- Moran described work requirements as "nothing but red tape," warning that increased paperwork could lead between 56,000 and 130,000 people losing coverage and increased strain on social services.
- These impacts suggest substantial harm to vulnerable populations and local economies, while some opponents criticize the changes as addressing inefficiencies but risking increased food insecurity and healthcare loss.
