If you have health care coverage through Medicaid, you may lose that coverage next year.
Around 84 million people are covered by the government-sponsored scheme, which has increased by 20 million people since January 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
But as states begin verifying everyone’s eligibility for Medicaid for the first time in three years, up to 14 million people could lose access to that health care coverage.
Many people are no longer eligible for the Medicaid program next year and what you need to know if you are one of those people who trust the program.
At the start of the pandemic, the federal government prohibited states from deporting people from Medicaid, even if they were no longer eligible.
