Sixteen senators including Raphael Warnock write to Senate leadership urging a two-year delay of the Medicaid work reporting requirements in H.R. 1, set to take effect January 1, 2027. They argue states lack the time and resources to comply after CMS's June 1, 2026 rule, and cite the Congressional Budget Office's estimate that over 5 million Americans would lose coverage from the requirements alone.
