南卡罗来纳州州长亨利·麦克马斯特(Henry McMaster)要求联邦政府恢复州医疗援助工作要求, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has requested the federal government to reinstate the state's Medicaid Work Requirements, known as the Healthy Connections Community Engagement Initiative. 该方案要求合格的医疗补助受益者每月完成80小时的工作、职业培训、教育或社区服务。 This program requires qualifying Medicaid beneficiaries to complete 80 hours of work, job training, education, or community service monthly. 该倡议旨在改善保健成果和促进财政独立,同时解决覆盖面差距问题,这种差距使低收入家庭由于可能失去保健福利而不能获得更多收入。 The initiative aims to improve health outcomes and promote financial independence while addressing a coverage gap that discourages low-income families from earning more due to the risk of losing healthcare benefits. 该方案于2019年在特朗普政府下获得批准,但于2021年被拜登政府撤销,并在流行病期间暂停。 The program was approved under the Trump administration in 2019 but was withdrawn by the Biden administration in 2021 and paused during the pandemic.
