The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (H.R.1), a comprehensive legislative package that includes significant reforms to Medicaid. A key provision mandates that, by December 31, 2026, able-bodied adults aged 19 to 64 must engage in at least 80 hours per month of work, education, or community service to maintain Medicaid eligibility .AMCP
While the bill aims to promote employment and reduce federal spending, it raises concerns about potential coverage losses, especially among vulnerable populations. Estimates suggest that millions could lose Medicaid coverage due to these new requirements .
