Survey: Over 50% Of Medicaid Enrollees Unaware Of 2027 Work Mandates

Article excerpt

More than half of Medicaid enrollees don't realize that work requirements are coming in January 2027, according to a new survey from the Health Management Academy. The findings underscore a major gap between policy implementation and public awareness as states prepare to enforce stricter eligibility rules. A doctor citing the survey points to the risk that millions could lose coverage without understanding the new mandate. The requirements are set to reshape who qualifies for the federal health insurance program for low-income Americans.
