Key Trump Nominee Hints at Push for Work Requirements in Medicaid

April 11, 2025

Russell T. Vought, President Trump’s nominee to run the Office of Management and Budget, said he supported work requirements for the program that supports low-income Americans.

Democrats have been sharply critical of adding work requirements to Medicaid, saying that they require complex enrollment procedures that make it hard to secure and maintain coverage, shutting out people with no other options for health insurance. Most Medicaid recipients are already working, while many of those who don’t are taking care of family or managing debilitating health conditions.
