国家授权为接受医疗补助的人工作,面对支持和对有效性的怀疑。 States mandate work for Medicaid recipients, facing support and skepticism over effectiveness.

截至2025年,一些州要求医疗补助领取者每月至少工作或参加80小时的工作培训,如果不遵守规定,可能丧失福利。 As of 2025, some states require Medicaid recipients to work or participate in job training for at least 80 hours a month, facing potential loss of benefits if they fail to comply. 虽然62%的美国人支持这些要求,但最近的研究表明,他们可能不会显著降低医疗补助费用或增加就业。 While 62% of Americans support these requirements, recent research suggests they may not significantly reduce Medicaid costs or increase employment. 国会预算办公室估计,全国范围的工作要求可以使医疗补助的入学率减少60万,并在10年内节省1 090亿美元,但专家认为,这种影响可能微乎其微,更有效的政策可以包括对合格期限的限制。 The Congressional Budget Office estimates that nationwide work requirements could reduce Medicaid enrollment by 0.6 million and save $109 billion over 10 years, but experts argue the impact might be minimal and more effective policies could include time limits on eligibility.
