Top Medicaid administrators from across the U.S. gathered at the National Association of Medicaid Directors conference to discuss the rollout of work requirements, a policy that could affect millions of low-income Americans.

The discussions underscored concerns about administrative complexity and the risk of coverage losses among vulnerable groups.
