https://www.thenation.com/article/the-medicaid-work-requirements-could-make-it-impossible-to-qualify-for-medicaid-in-most-states/
Under the planned new Health and Human Services regulations announced last week, waivers will be granted to states willing to restructure their programs to force individuals who would otherwise be eligible for Medicaid to workgenerally for about 20 hours a weekto qualify for coverage. So far 10 states have applied for the planned waivers: Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Maine, Utah, and Wisconsin. Most of the states recently expanded Medicaid eligibility standards under the Affordable Care Act, so those who newly gained coverage will be especially hard-hit. The plan purports to help the poor economically and health-wise, but its almost certain to make people poorer and sicker instead. Nationwide, the changes are expected to drastically reduce enrollment, arbitrarily denying millions of impoverished people access to life-saving medical services. --- What is this, a fair for ants? ...

to clarify, when they say that "In the case of an able-bodied worker with a minimum-wage job, supporting a two-person household (for example, a single mom with a child), they would be excluded from Medicaid in all but five states" they are talking specifically about non-expansion states

They say most have a job, and the rest can't get work due to their health. If this is, in fact, the case, I don't see the problem.

If this is, in fact, the case, I don't see the problem. many people on medicaid have jobs without regular schedules, meaning they could have a job and still fail to meet the 20 hour/week minimum to qualify for Medicaid the biggest problem to me is the administrative complexity involved in setting up systems to verify and share the exemptions and who has met requirements between state government, providers, etc --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. ...

The problem is that working the amount required to receive medicaid would mean earning too much to receive medicaid, and might not entail health insurance from your employer. --- kin to all that throbs ...
