That explains another frontal attack on Medicaid mounted by the GOP: the imposition of work requirements on Medicaid enrollees.

From the original and enhanced subsidies, Covered California enrollees currently get $563 a month on average, lowering the average monthly out-of-pocket premium from $698 to $135, according to data from Covered California.

“Existing enrollees will be able to continue their membership with no changes to their benefits,” the platform said on its company website.

Currently, the federal matching rate is 90%, meaning that the federal government pays 90% of the costs for Medicaid expansion enrollees.

But the exchange helps mitigate high costs nearly 90% of enrollees by offering state and federal subsidies based on income, with many families paying little or nothing.
