Florida Hasn’t Expanded Medicaid. Lawmakers Want To Add Work Requirements Anyway. By Daniel Chang March 9, 2026

Lawmakers Want To Add Work Requirements Anyway In states that have long refused to expand Medicaid to more low-income adults, people in the program aren’t subject to new rules under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act requiring them to prove they’re working in order to get and keep coverage. That’s not stopping Florida lawmakers from trying to adopt Medicaid work requirements anyway. It’s the only legislative body in a nonexpansion state to even consider it so far. (Chang, 3/9)
