Medicaid work requirements begin, risking coverage for millions

States are beginning to enforce new work requirements for Medicaid eligibility, putting millions of enrollees at risk of losing coverage if they cannot report sufficient work, school, or volunteer hours, or secure an exemption. Nebraska has already started to disenroll individuals who fail to meet these reporting mandates. Healthcare providers and patient advocates are raising concerns about the adequacy of exemption processes and the administrative burden placed on clinicians, with projections indicating a significant number of people could lose health coverage nationwide.
