What Happened When One State Made Having a Job a Requirement for Medicaid

Many poor Americans get health coverage through Medicaid. Last year, with encouragement from the Trump administration, some states decided to change their Medicaid programs: for people to be eligible, they would need to show they were working or meeting some other requirement.

For the newest episode of The Dose, Benjamin Sommers, M.D., a professor of health policy and economics at the Harvard School of Public Health, talks to host Shanoor Seervai about what happened in Arkansas, the first state to implement Medicaid work requirements.

While the state’s program was intended to promote employment and better health, it instead led to more than 17,000 people losing their health coverage in just three months — and no significant increase in the number of people with jobs.
