Georgia could be only state to have Medicaid expansion come with work requirement

A recent federal court ruling has cleared the path for Georgia to move forward with its limited expansion of Medicaid.

The idea, originally proposed by Republican Governor Brian Kemp when he took office in 2019, would require new participants to work or volunteer 80 hours each month.

Following the federal court’s decision and Kemp’s winning reelection, it appears the plan will move forward unless the federal government chooses to intervene.
