Map Shows States Where 1 Million People Were Removed From Health Care Plan

Millions of Americans have been disenrolled from Medicaid plans after the federal government stopped offering continuous coverage to recipients during the pandemic.

Altogether, at least 19.6 million Medicaid enrollees were taken off their plans, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation report. This makes up 30 percent of enrollees since Medicaid began its unwinding process for Americans who are no longer eligible for the health care program.

That unwinding marks a major shift since the COVID-19 pandemic, when the federal government adopted an automatic renewal for all recipients to prevent major disruptions to health care during the global health disaster. However, starting this year, Medicaid recipients had to apply again, and many were booted from the health care they have been using for years.
