"Advocates criticize Biden administration's delayed response to Medicaid expulsions"

Up to 30 million Americans could be removed from the Medicaid program due to error-ridden state reviews, and poverty experts argue that the Biden administration is not doing enough to address the issue. Problems such as long wait times, confusing forms, and wrongful coverage terminations have been reported across the country. Advocates fear that systemic problems are being ignored, and while Congress gave Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra the power to fine states or halt disenrollments, little information has been shared about the problems uncovered. If trends continue, as many as 30 million people could lose Medicaid coverage, far surpassing the administration's initial projection of 15 million.
