New BMJ Research finds the implementation of work requirements with Medicaid expansion in Georgia did not increase health insurance coverage or employment. These findings have important implications after recently enacted legislation www.bmj.com/content/390/...

6/ The One Big Beautiful Bill Act mandates Medicaid work requirements nationwide, starting next year As states prepare to implement work requirements, they should take steps to prevent eligible adults from losing coverage www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

5/ Compared to traditional Medicaid expansion, Georgia's Pathways to Coverage decreased Medicaid coverage and did not increase employment Our findings suggest that work requirements hindered Medicaid enrollment without generating gains in employment

4/ Using a difference-in-differences design and data from the US Census Bureau, we compared Georgia to neighboring states that haven't expanded Medicaid Medicaid coverage and employment did not increase in Georgia in the first 15 months compared to non-expansion states

3/ In 2023, Georgia launched Pathways to Coverage, which expanded Medicaid eligibility to adults with low incomes But there was a catch: enrollees had to report at least 80 hours per month of employment, community service, or higher education www.nytimes.com/2024/09/14/u...

Medicaid work requirements will soon be mandatory nationwide Our new @bmj.com study shows that in Georgia - the only state to expand Medicaid with work requirements - work requirements impeded gains in Medicaid coverage without increasing employment www.bmj.com/content/390/...
