Georgia is now the only state in the US to implement work requirements in its Medicaid program -- a feat many Republican lawmakers nationwide will be closely monitoring.
But unlike GOP-led states’ prior attempts to impose work mandates in Medicaid, Georgia’s effort is expected to increase the number of people with health insurance, rather than strip coverage away from an untold number of low-income residents. That allowed it to pass muster in court, though critics still deride the program as complicated, ineffective and expensive.
In his speech, Kemp said up to 345,000 Georgians could qualify, while the state Department of Community Health has said up to 100,000 residents could enroll in the first year. The department did not return a request for more information about the program and enrollment projections. Others, however, estimate far fewer people will gain coverage.
