We aim to provide Arkansans with a hand up, not a handout, ensuring everyone can live their best life in Arkansas. Today, we're announcing our intention to seek a waiver to implement a Medicaid work requirement. This means that able-bodied working-age adults must work, attend school, volunteer, or care for their children to receive free healthcare funded by taxpayers. Currently, 220,000 able-bodied adults in Arkansas benefit from this program, costing over $2.2 billion annually. Notably, around 90,000 of these recipients are unemployed, while many hardworking Arkansans pay for their own health insurance.
