Republican Governors Push for Work Requirements in Medicaid Programs for Low-Income Adults

Republicans in several states are seeking a new Trump administration to mandate low-income adults to work in exchange for government health care. They plan to overhaul health safety-net programs, potentially cutting costs. Some GOP leaders are laying the groundwork to implement the work requirements if there is a second Trump term. The Supreme Court's conservative majority gives hope to Republicans that their plan could prevail. However, not all Republican governors are on board with this push. Critics argue that the policy would create more bureaucratic hurdles.
