Michigan Asks Trump Administration to Approve Medicaid Work Requirements

Michigan is asking the Trump administration to approve work requirements for thousands of low-income adults who gained health care under Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion. Under the proposal, beneficiaries between the ages of 19 to 62 will have to work, volunteer, or attend job training for at least 80 hours a month to keep their benefits. There are 12 exemptions, including for those who are caretakers of family members younger than six and those who are pregnant. (Jessie Hellmann, The Hill)
