Background:
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress enacted a provision allowing Medicaid programs to keep recipients enrolled through the duration of the pandemic public health emergency. Medicaid enrollment increased significantly during this period–ensuring healthcare for families and children–while uninsured rates fell. This enrollment requirement ended in December 2022, setting in motion a period of disenrollment–known as the Medicaid unwinding. Through the unwinding, millions of people could lose Medicaid coverage, a lifeline for adults, children, and families who may otherwise go without essential healthcare.
