6:56Now PlayingThe Trump administration just published a nearly 400-page rule requiring most adults on Medicaid to document 80 hours per month of work, training, volunteering, or school — or lose their coverage.72 million Americans are on Medicaid.
The overwhelming majority are already working, raising children, or dealing with serious health conditions. The new rule doesn't automatically exempt people with cancer, HIV, Parkinson's, or MS. States have to evaluate each case individually — and build the entire system from scratch before January 1st, 2027.
Studies and the Congressional Budget Office have confirmed that Medicaid work requirements don't meaningfully increase employment. What they do is cut people off.
