Medicaid Work Mandate Looms: 80 Hours or Lose Coverage by 2027

A sweeping federal law dubbed the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' forces states to impose 80-hour monthly work requirements on most able-bodied Medicaid adults by January 2027, threatening coverage for millions. The policy, signed last summer, slashes $1 trillion from the program over a decade amid warnings of administrative chaos and coverage losses. As deadlines tighten, states scramble to comply while critics decry barriers to care.
