Kentucky put in a work requirement for Medicaid. It cost them $280 million. It failed miserably. There just aren't that many people on Medicaid that are 'cheating" the system. There just isn't that much "waste fraud abuse" going on. This abomination of a bill allocated $75 million for the entire United States for the work-requirement system.
