[Webinar] Medicaid Work Requirements Don’t Work

Executive Summary

Republicans in Congress are once again considering adding work requirements to Medicaid. Work requirements put applicants and enrollees at serious risk of losing their health insurance or not being able to enroll in the first place. The evidence on work and Medicaid points to two important conclusions: First, Medicaid coverage helps more people work. Second, work requirements are failed policies that increase red tape and take Medicaid away from people, including but not limited to people with disabilities, regardless of exemptions or attempted carveouts. In this webinar, we discuss why work requirements should not be added to Medicaid, such as how they would cut coverage and devastate state and local economies.
