Georgia launches Medicaid expansion in closely watched test of work requirements

Violin01/07/2023 40 Views

ATLANTA — Georgia is offering a new bargain to some adults without health insurance beginning Saturday: Go to work or school and the state will cover you.

But advocates decide the plan, which will insure far fewer people than a full expansion of the state-federal Medicaid program, as needlessly restrictive and expensive.

The program is likely to be closely watched as Republicans in Congress push to let states require work from some current Medicaid enrollees. Georgia would be the only state that requires Medicaid recipients to meet a work requirement.

Democratic President Joe Biden’s administration is unlikely to approve work

Unvaccinated healthcare workers hope to go back to work

Violin27/06/2023 39 Views

Sandy Hartman is frustrated. She’s not allowed back to work at the London Health Sciences Center because she’s not been vaccinated against COVID-19.

“At this point in time, the policy is outdated, and I’m hoping we can see some changes,” said Hartman.

Medicaid provides health insurance coverage for people with low income, and the expansion ensures that as of June
