Summary: The commenter opposes the proposed Medicaid community engagement requirements, arguing that work requirements do not increase employment and can lead to a loss of coverage for vulnerable populations. They emphasize that Medicaid already supports individuals in their community roles without needing additional reporting.
CMS should withdraw the interim final rule because evidence shows that work requirements do not increase employment and result in people losing coverage.
Medicaid is essential for disabled people and people with serious health conditions, and already supports people to work, go to school, volunteer, provide care, and participate in their communities without additional work reporting requirements.
