Abstract

Medicaid work requirements force enrollees to report a minimum number of hours of employment, or other acceptable activities, to access health coverage. Those who fail to comply are removed from Medicaid. Arkansas, along with other states, has implemented such work requirements for its residents on Medicaid. In only four months, over 18,000 Arkansas residents have already lost access to health care due to noncompliance.1 Similar purges from Medicaid are expected as work requirements are implemented across the country. This will have alarming public health consequences.
