No One Legally Eligible for Medicare or Medicaid Will Lose Coverage. Not ONE Person

Despite ongoing left lies, per usual.


Medicaid​

Work Requirements​

  • Overview: Requires able-bodied adults aged 19-64 to work (or perform other qualifying activities) for at least 80 hours a month. There are mandatory exemptions for certain individuals (e.g., pregnant women, those with serious medical conditions, tribal members, parents/caregivers of a dependent child 13 years and under or with a disability). States may issue optional hardship waivers for specific individuals facing short-term hardship (e.g., inpatient care, related outpatient care, natural disasters, high unemployment rate within their county).
  • Verification: States will be required to conduct a “look-back” to determine if an individual meets requirement within the three months prior to applying. States would be required to verify an individual's compliance with work requirements within one or more months of enrollment and one or more months before redetermination.
  • Implementation Dates:
    • June 1, 2026: HHS to release interim final rule with implementation requirements.
    • Dec. 31, 2026 (or earlier at state option): States must implement work requirements. However, the final bill allows the Secretary to exempt states from compliance with new requirements until Dec. 31, 2028, if they demonstrate a good faith effort toward compliance.
  • Funding: Provides $200M for HHS implementation funding and $200M for states in FY2026 (an increase from $50M and $100M, respectively, from the initial House version).

Expansion​

  • Expansion FMAP for Emergency Medicaid: Effective Oct. 1, 2026, limits federal matching payments for Emergency Medicaid to the state’s regular FMAP for individuals who would otherwise be eligible for coverage through Medicaid expansion if not for their immigration status.
  • Sunsetting increased FMAP incentive: Effective Jan. 1, 2026, states that newly adopt Medicaid expansion will no longer have provisions for the temporary incentive. In addition to the federal government providing 90% federal financing for the expansion population under a state’s Medicaid expansion, the American Rescue Plan Act provided states that expand Medicaid after March 2021 a temporary boost in FMAP — a two-year, five-percentage-point increase in FMAP for all non-expansion population.
  • Modifying cost sharing requirements for certain expansion individuals under Medicaid: Effective Oct. 1, 2028, states are required to impose cost sharing of up to $35 per service on expansion adults with incomes 100-138% FPL. Exempts primary care, mental health, and substance use disorder services, along with services provided by federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), behavioral health clinics, and rural health clinics. Maintains the previous law that out-of-pocket costs cannot exceed 5% of family income. Provides $15M in implementation funding for 2026.
    • The final legislation adds exemptions to cost-sharing services provided by FQHCs, behavioral health clinicals, and rural health clinics.

That (your comment) makes no sense.

You oppose removing non-citizens from the taxpayers' backs? Figeres.

You’re MAGA, nothing factual makes sense to you. DonOld talked about rounding up gang members, bad people, rapist during his campaign, and yet, he’s raiding businesses and court houses for asylum seekers or other forms of immigration hearings to find people to deport is what my statement intimated, they aren’t rounding up gang members.

The people he’s rounding up have jobs and pay taxes. They receive few benefits for the taxes they pay.

ICE is not part of Medicare/Medicaid.

Illegals are not eligible for either.

Get a clue.

Your obvious confusion is hysterically funny.

Not surprising the source is missing, I’m betting Gateway or Breitfart, although not sensational enough for them, probably something like the Examiner or Federalist

You do know just applying for these programs isn’t easy, especially if you are elderly, and the new requirements can require constant reapplying, which was done deliberately to discourage especially those that are eligible

Nothing is being done deliberately to discourage anyone.... Actually the program is going to encourage people who should be working to step up and be responsible and accountable for the benefits they are receiving.... When in the past they have not...

On July 4, President Trump signed into law a budget reconciliation package once called the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” that includes significant changes to the Medicaid program. This issue brief provides an overview of the Medicaid work requirement provisions.
