Medicaid Coverage in Jeopardy as States Kick Residents Off

Originally Published 2 years ago — by ABC15 Arizona in Phoenix

Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, New Hampshire, and South Dakota are among the first states to terminate Medicaid coverage for those deemed ineligible since the pandemic-era protection ended on April 1. Advocates worry that speed will result in eligible residents being incorrectly terminated, and it could hamper shifting those who no longer qualify to other types of coverage. Around 15 million people could be dropped from Medicaid, according to various estimates, though several million folks could find coverage elsewhere.
