Michigan Governor Rick Snyder is expected to sign a Republican-backed bill requiring able-bodied adults in the state's Medicaid expansion program to meet work or job-related requirements. Under the plan, starting in 2020, adults between the ages of 18 and 62 would need to show an average of 20 hours per week of "workforce engagement." State Senator Mike Shirkey is a proponent of the bill and says the move is part of an effort to find more workers and promote economic activity.
