The CBO projects 5.3 million Americans will lose Medicaid coverage by 2034 due to work requirements — the single largest driver among all OBBBA provisions. This number is structurally revealing: it exceeds the population of able-bodied unemployed Medicaid adults, meaning the coverage loss cannot be primarily from screening out the unemployed. Instead, the mechanism is procedural churn: monthly reporting requirements (80 hrs/month documentation) create administrative barriers that cause eligible working adults to lose coverage through paperwork failures, not employment status. This is confirmed by the timeline: 1.3M uninsured in 2026 → 5.2M in 2027 shows rapid escalation inconsistent with gradual employment screening but consistent with cumulative procedural attrition. The work requirement functions as a coverage reduction mechanism disguised as an employment incentive.
## Supporting Evidence
**Source:** CBO analysis of One Big Beautiful Bill Act, CBPP Medicaid work requirement projections
CBO estimates 5.2M Medicaid coverage loss from OBBBA work requirements by 2034, with CBPP projecting 9.9-14.9M at risk. Prior state work requirement experiments showed enrollees taking on more medical debt and delaying care rather than gaining employment, confirming the procedural churning mechanism.
