Pennsylvania Removes 600,000 People from Medicaid, CHIP

Given the significant uptake in Medicaid and CHIP enrollment during the pandemic (25 percent), the state has still made a net gain in terms of overall public health care coverage, and many of those de-enrolled were able to transition to the wider insurance marketplace. However, Pennsylvania’s failure to cement these gains in coverage still raises concerns, as evidence suggests many individuals across the country were kicked off their health care because of administrative errors, insufficient information on the disenrollment process, and other procedural issues. Source: Newsweek
