Norfolk health director: Medicaid changes threaten coverage for tens of thousands; city forming work group Dr. Susan Gerard told the Norfolk City Council that about 71,748 residents receive Medicaid benefits and that proposed federal changes (shorter renewals, an 80-hour work requirement, new copays, and expiring ACA premium subsidies) could put thousands at risk of losing coverage; the city will form a multi-agency work group to mitigate impacts.

Over 71,000 Norfolk residents could face drastic changes to their Medicaid coverage due to new federal regulations, putting their health and financial stability at risk.
