Amber Christ, ED of Legal Aid of Western Missouri, which is co-representing Byrd, told The Independent that by requiring people to prove that their medical condition prevents them from meeting work requirements, the rule “adds a test that Congress didn’t write.” #Medicaid #WorkRequirement

Also there's a response to the recent ASPE report suggesting poverty would decline due to the #Medicaid work requirement: "The review, however, critically omits studies of actual Medicaid work-requirement experiments." www.healthaffairs.org/content/fore... #workrequirement #healthpolicy

Glad to have supported this team!

One highlight: Even though the OBBBA offers states modest grants to update data systems (totaling $200M nationally), this amount compares unfavorably with the roughly $50M Georgia spent on its work requirement administration program. #Medicaid #WorkRequirement
Ben Sommers and I have a new piece up at @jamahealthforum.com on how to think about generalizing lessons from unwinding to looming new Medicaid red tape requirements.

In the #Appalachian state of #Georgia, nearly 1 out of every 5 residents was in enrolled in #Medicaid in 2022. Now, as the state fully implements its #WorkRequirement, technology and a lack of resources has created a log-jam that threatens coverage for millions of Georgia residents.

Deciding if a patient is too sick to work is a subjective, high-stakes decision, said Chen, who practices as a hospitalist.

Physicians say new Medicaid rules starting Jan. 1 regarding employment will undermine their relationships with patients.

Australia to reinstate work requirement for British backpackers as part of regional development strategy
Australia is considering reinstating a policy requiring British backpackers to work in regional areas as part of a broader effort to boost local economies and address labor shortages. The proposed measure, announced on August 26, 2026, aims to ensure that temporary visa holders contribute to the workforce while gaining valuable experience. While the plan has been met with mixed reactions from stakeholders, supporters argue it could help sustain regional communities by reducing reliance on seasonal workers. Critics, however, warn of potential impacts on tourism and the backpacking industry, which have long been vital to Australia's economy. The policy shift reflects ongoing debates about balancing immigration needs with economic priorities. Other unrelated stories in the article include reports on a childcare centre collapse, a shooting incident near construction sites, and updates on a missing person case. These diversions highlight the complexity of news coverage, where multiple issues are often presented alongside a primary story.

2/3 of #Georgia, my state. I am a #disabled senior with #medicare and #medicaid. There is no way I could satisfy a #workrequirement at a regular worksite job.
Exactly right
Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

There really needs to be a #WorkRequirement for these freeloaders feeding off the taxpayers' dime. 🤔 What's he doing in San Francisco if he's a New Jersey Rep? He ain't campaigning there!
