Medicaid rules prevent many people with disabilities from holding full-time jobs

Summary

82% Informative

Iowa is moving to require many nondisabled Medicaid recipients to work or document why they ca n’t .

The “Work Without Worry ” bill would remove income and asset caps and instead require Iowans with disabilities to pay 6% of their incomes as premiums to remain in Medicaid .

The bill is modeled on a Tennessee law passed last year , said Josh Turek , a Democratic state representative from Council Bluffs .

The Iowa proposal to remove income and asset caps has drawn bipartisan backing from legislators.

Congress has considered a similar proposal to allow people with disabilities to work more hours without losing their Social Security disability benefits.

Fewer than 200,000 people nationwide are covered under Medicaid buy-in programs, an analyst says.
