Summary
Thousands of county residents — including asylees and refugees as of October 1 — will lose Medicaid, and work requirements plus six-month redeterminations start in 2027. The safety-net Montgomery Cares clinics can't absorb everyone without hard budget choices about wait lists and visit limits.

Impact analysis
The county's Montgomery Cares budget covers 78,000 visits; absorbing newly uninsured residents could force new spending, wait lists, or visit limits.
Residents who keep coverage and get help navigating redetermination; safety-net clinics if funded to expand.
Asylees, refugees, and residents who fall through administrative gaps lose coverage and may flood emergency rooms.
