For politicians looking to save taxpayers money, adding work requirements to Medicaid and other social programs would do next to nothing.
That’s according to an analysis from the Congressional Budget Office, which shows that adding work requirements to Medicaid and expanding existing ones for food stamps, and other welfare programs—as Republican lawmakers have demanded of President Joe Biden in exchange for raising the national debt limit—would save a miniscule amount of money compared to the overall budget.
Work requirements are a sticking point in negotiations between Biden and Republican leaders who are seeking to raise or suspend the national debt ceiling in order to prevent the government from running out of cash to pay its bills.
