Georgia Governor Kemp defends Georgia's unique Medicaid program, Pathways, with a work requirement.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is defending Georgia's unique Medicaid program, Pathways, which requires enrollees to complete 80 hours of work, volunteering, schooling or vocational rehab per month. Despite a slow start with only 4,300 members as of early June, Kemp remains committed to the program. Critics argue that Georgia could provide health coverage to 500,000 low-income individuals without a work mandate by adopting a broader Medicaid expansion like 40 other states.
