Biden Administration Urges States to Halt Mass Removal of Medicaid Recipients

  • Over a million Americans have lost health insurance since April due to red tape.
  • Most states are checking eligibility and dropping those who don't qualify or don't complete paperwork.
  • Xavier Becerra asked states to ensure those still eligible keep coverage by pausing cancellations and simplifying the process.
  • In some states, nearly half of Medicaid recipients reviewed since April have lost coverage, often due to administrative errors.
  • Health experts warn mass cancellations could have disastrous effects, especially for children and families.
