"Medicaid Coverage at Risk for Millions Amid Pandemic Rule Expiration"

As the emergency safety net put in place during the Covid-19 pandemic comes to an end, U.S. states will start to kick as many as 15 million people off Medicaid insurance, the public health insurance program for people who have lower incomes. The changes will disproportionately affect people of color and young people, and many of these individuals are expected to be eligible for other forms of health insurance. HHS has set up a special enrollment period at healthcare.gov to help people transition to Obamacare marketplace insurance if they lose Medicaid between March 31, 2023 through July, 31, 2024.
