I've written about health care for three decades, starting from my native Iowa where I covered the presidential campaign bus rides of Bill and Hillary Clinton through the Hawkeye state talking health reform and the economy.
Nearly one in four adults who say they were “disenrolled” from Medicaid health coverage as states unraveled a pandemic-era program are now uninsured, a new poll from KFF shows.
“About one in five enrollees say they were disenrolled from Medicaid coverage at some point in 2023 and about a quarter of those who were disenrolled remain uninsured,” KFF“Some of those who were disenrolled eventually re-enrolled in the program or found other forms of health coverage , but the loss of coverage led many to worry about both their physical health and their mental health.”
But since the public health emergency’s end last May, states once again are conducting Medicaid redetermination processes. Medicaid redetermination, also described as Medicaid renewal or Medicaid recertification, is essentially when people are asked to show they are qualified for such coverage and is today more commonly referred to as the “Medicaid unwinding.”
“Health insurance costs are also a major concern for those who now have a different form of coverage,” the KFF analysis said. “Among those who now have other forms of coverage , half say they worry about affording their monthly premium, and three-quarters say they are worried about affording the costs of health care services. Most who have another source of coverage say it is about the same as or better than Medicaid in terms of access to care.
