Here's the plan - Americans on Medicaid can pick the crops (X & text)

20. I have not seen statistics, but I suspect the majority

of people who are covered by Medicaid expansion ARE working. Why? There income has to exceed the original Medicaid level. These are likely lower income to lower middle class people whose employers don't offer affordable health insurance.

People over 65 would be Medicare or both if their income is low enough. I don't know the impact on qualifying for both. Additionally, there are older people in nursing homes on Medicaid as Medicare does not cover long term care. None of the latter can remotely be called able bodied.

I suspect that the work requirement will have far less impact than any change to covering nursing homes or the impact on people who currently are on Medicaid through Medicaid expansion.
