Medicaid Work Requirements Sought to Fund Trump Tax Cuts

House Republicans want to impose work requirements on some Medicaid recipients up to 64 years old and impose more costs on some beneficiaries to help pay for President Donald Trump’s planned sweeping tax package.

The moves, unveiled by Republican leaders in draft legislation Sunday night, are described as ways to better protect coverage to people who most need it. Critics counter that millions of recipients will have trouble navigating complex reporting systems and lose coverage.
