ATLANTA (AP) — The Biden administration’s decision to revoke approval of Georgia’s plan to require Medicaid recipients to meet a work requirement is being jeered by top Republicans in the state. But Democrats are welcoming it as an opportunity for a bigger expansion of the health care program.
U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said Thursday the work requirement during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic would not help low-income Georgians.
The work provision was part of the state’s plan to make a limited number of additional low-income Georgians eligible for Medicaid.
