How Trump Clouded Journalists' Heads about Surveillance Video

It's been over six weeks since the last time I checked in on how many Americans had lost Medicaid or CHIP coverage due to the ongoing Medicaid Unwinding process playing out nationally. At the time, "only" 612,000 people had been confirmed to have lost coverage purely due to procedural/red tape reasons (as opposed to others who lost coverage after being determined ineligible any longer). The Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) has taken up the mantle on this front, and the data so far, while still limited, is pretty much as bad as many healthcare advocates feared. Since then, a lot more data has been collected and the numbers have grown dramatically: At least 3,773,000 Medicaid enrollees have been disenrolled as of July 31, 2023, based on the most current data from 39 states and the District of Columbia. Overall, 39% of people with a completed renewal were disenrolled in reporting states while 61%, or 5.7 million enrollees, had their coverage renewed (three of the reporting states do not provide data on renewed enrollees). Because not all states have publicly available data on total disenrollments, the data reported here undercount the actual number of disenrollments. There is wide variation in disenrollment rates across reporting states, ranging from 82% in Texas to 8% in Wyoming.
