**Source:** CBO estimates, One Big Beautiful Bill Act 2025
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act creates a double coverage compression: Medicaid work requirements eliminate coverage for 11.8M (disproportionately affecting populations with highest obesity/CVD burden), while enhanced APTC expiration affects those above Medicaid income threshold. This systematically removes coverage from the populations with highest clinical need for GLP-1 therapy, amplifying the existing access inversion.
## Extending Evidence
**Source:** ASTHO OBBBA law summary, AJMC five at-risk groups, KFF ACA premium data
OBBBA compounds the GLP-1 access inversion through coverage loss. The five groups most at risk from work requirements include people with health conditions affecting work capacity — precisely the population with highest GLP-1 clinical need for cardiometabolic conditions. Simultaneously, ACA enhanced subsidy expiration (premiums doubled 114%) removes coverage for the 200-400% FPL population that bridges Medicaid and commercial insurance. This creates a new access gap: patients who would benefit most from GLP-1s lose coverage through OBBBA, while higher-income patients retain access. The compound coverage loss (15-17M by 2030) structurally widens the existing wealth-stratified GLP-1 access disparity.

# OBBBA's Medicaid work requirements will reduce coverage more through documentation-failure disenrollment than through actual non-compliance, because 19-37% of compliant workers cannot prove compliance administratively
OBBBA requires Medicaid expansion adults to demonstrate 80 hours/month of work or community engagement, with states implementing by December 30, 2026 (or delaying to December 31, 2028). Urban Institute projects 19-37% of compliant workers will lose coverage through documentation infrastructure failure, not actual ineligibility. The Georgia precedent provides quantitative evidence: during Trump 1.0 work requirement implementation, Georgia spent $54.2M on administrative costs versus $26.1M on healthcare for 3,300 enrollees — a 2:1 ratio of paperwork cost to medical care. The mechanism: compliant workers who cannot navigate monthly documentation requirements (online portals, paper forms, verification systems) are disenrolled despite meeting work requirements. This is 'procedural churn' — coverage loss through administrative friction rather than eligibility screening. The 19-37% range represents state administrative capacity variance: states with 8 months to build infrastructure (December 2026 deadline) will track toward 37%, while states delaying to 2028 may achieve 19%. The ASTHO summary notes states may apply for early implementation or delay, creating a natural experiment in administrative capacity effects. Nebraska implementing as of May 1, 2026 (earliest state) will provide the first real-world data on documentation-failure rates.

**Source:** NPR/CBS News, May 1, 2026; Urban Institute Nebraska modeling; RWJF/KFF analysis
Nebraska's May 1, 2026 implementation is the first real-world data point. Urban Institute projects 25,000 Nebraskans at risk (36% of subject population). Enforcement is phased through renewal cycles with first terminations July 31, 2026. RWJF/KFF analysis projects 19-37% of already-working enrollees will lose coverage through documentation failure. This confirms the enrollment instability mechanism operates through administrative infrastructure failure, not employment status changes.
## Supporting Evidence
**Source:** ASTHO OBBBA law summary, Urban Institute projections
ASTHO law summary confirms the mechanism and provides implementation timeline: work requirements effective December 30, 2026, with six-month redeterminations starting January 1, 2027. States have <8 months from July 2025 to build administrative infrastructure. Urban Institute projects 4.9-10.1M Medicaid coverage losses in 2028 from work requirements and redeterminations alone expansion enrollment falls 37-68% in low-mitigation scenarios. The variance factor is state administrative capacity, with Nebraska implementing earliest (May 1, 2026) and other states able to delay to December 31, 2028. The enrollment instability is structural, not transitional ongoing monthly documentation requirements create continuous churn.

# OBBBA Medicaid work requirements and concurrent ACA subsidy expiration create a compound coverage loss event of 15-17M Americans by 2030 — the largest single reversal of health coverage expansion since before the ACA
OBBBA's Medicaid work requirements take effect December 30, 2026, requiring expansion adults (19-64, 'able-bodied') to demonstrate 80 hours/month of work or community engagement. CBO projects 10.9M Americans become uninsured by 2034 from combined Medicaid and ACA losses. Urban Institute projects 4.9-10.1M lose Medicaid coverage in 2028 from work requirements and six-month redeterminations alone. Simultaneously, enhanced ACA premium tax credits expired January 1, 2026, and OBBBA did not restore them. This caused average ACA premiums to more than double (114% increase), with 9% of 2025 ACA enrollees now uninsured (KFF March 2026 poll). The critical insight: these two coverage-erosion vectors affect overlapping populations (under 400% FPL) but are tracked separately in most coverage estimates. The compound effect creates 15-17M fewer Americans with coverage by 2030 — the largest single reversal of health coverage expansion since before the ACA. The December 30, 2026 effective date means enrollment impact will be measurable starting Q1 2027, with state administrative capacity determining whether losses track toward the 4.9M or 10.1M end of the range.

**Source:** NPR/CBS News, May 1, 2026; CBO estimates
Nebraska's May 1, 2026 work requirement implementation creates active coverage loss in the Medicaid expansion population — the exact population VBC models need for prevention ROI. The 25,000 Nebraskans at risk represent 36% of those subject to restrictions. National rollout (most states January 1, 2027) will shrink the risk-bearing pool by 4.9-10.1M by 2028. This is structural misalignment: healthcare policy is actively reducing the enrolled population that VBC transitions require for multi-year prevention economics.
## Challenging Evidence
**Source:** ASTHO OBBBA law summary, Urban Institute projections
OBBBA's compound coverage loss (15-17M by 2030) creates a more fundamental barrier than the payment boundary: enrollment instability. Federal Medicaid work requirements project 4.9-10.1M coverage losses by 2028 from work requirements and redeterminations alone. Expansion enrollment falls 37-68% in low-mitigation scenarios across states. VBC prevention ROI requires multi-year attribution, but documentation-failure disenrollment (19-37% of compliant workers) creates churn independent of health outcomes. The payment boundary problem assumes a stable enrolled population — OBBBA removes that precondition.
