Medicaid Work Rules Threaten Vulnerable Montanans | Bozeman News
Description
When Medicaid work requirements hit Montana, Tywon Pugh’s life spiraled—his seizures, homelessness, and grief over his wife’s death make it impossible to meet the new rules, yet he desperately needs his coverage to afford life-saving meds and addiction treatment. While exemptions exist for disabilities, seniors, and pregnant people, homelessness doesn’t automatically qualify, and without fully automated medical record checks, Tywon risks losing coverage before he can prove his condition. As states scramble to enforce these rules, millions face similar traps, and the federal stance on homelessness as a non-exempt status could leave vulnerable people uninsured.
