As of the end of October, just 5,118 people were enrolled in Georgia's Medicaid work-requirement program—that's 5 percent of the people who said they wanted to sign up.
Part of the problem is that Georgia's work requirement is particularly harsh. The rules apply to people as old as 64, which is not typical in other states.
The state has also made it difficult for people to enroll. Georgians need to navigate lengthy questionnaires and technical language that deter many.
Unlike other states, Georgia can yank coverage after two months of failing to meet the new program's strict requirements, leading to heightened anxiety among potential enrollees.
