Some disabled people want to advance their careers. They say Medicaid rules stop them

"New Medicaid Work Requirements Raise Concerns for Disabled Workers: As the Biden administration prepares to implement new work requirements for Medicaid recipients next year, some individuals with disabilities who are already employed are facing a daunting dilemma. Despite their desire to increase their work hours and earning potential, they risk losing their Medicaid coverage if their income exceeds a certain threshold. Advocates argue that these requirements could disproportionately harm individuals who are already struggling to balance their jobs with the demands of living with a disability. With the new rules set to take effect, many are left wondering how they will afford the healthcare they need to maintain their independence and quality of life."

Medicaid will have new work requirements next year. But some people with disabilities, who already work, say they'd like to work more, but risk losing their Medicaid coverage if they earn too much.
