Judge refuses to extend timeframe for Georgia's new Medicaid plan, only one with work requirement
ATLANTA (AP) — A federal judge ruled that the Biden administration complied with the law when it declined to grant an extension to Georgia’s year-old Medicaid plan, which is the only one in the country that has a work requirement for recipients of the publicly funded health coverage for low-income people.

Republican Gov. Brian Kemp’s office said it would work with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to “continue to pursue the necessary time to demonstrate the program’s viability.” “Just as before, we remain committed to this Georgia-specific, innovative initiative that leads not only to healthcare coverage but to better opportunity and coverage options for those who enroll in the program,” spokesman Garrison Douglas said in a statement.
