Robert Gordon, Michigan's state health director, faced the risk of removing health insurance from 80,000 people due to a Medicaid work requirement law inherited from previous Republicans in office. Despite spending significant resources and creating systems to help people report their eligibility, estimates suggested that between 80,000 and 100,000 individuals would lose coverage in a year. This law, influenced by federal legislation, mandates work verification for Medicaid, likely resulting in a substantial increase in the uninsured population across multiple states by 2034.
Robert Gordon expressed concern over the implementation of Medicaid work requirements, stating, 'We're implementing this about as well as this thing can be implemented, and it is still going to be pretty catastrophic.'
The tax-and-spending law signed by President Trump mandates a significant expansion of Medicaid work requirements, potentially leading to 4.8 million more uninsured individuals by 2034.
