The Creates Medicaid Bill
DC creates Medicaid program for workers with disabilities
Judith Heumann Memorial Workers with Disabilities Act of 2025
Good for everyday people ·
The bill would let employed people with disabilities join Medicaid, giving them health coverage if they qualify.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If the program starts, disabled workers could get needed medical care without paying out of pocket, but the cost would come from government funds, so taxpayers may bear the expense.
