Biden Administration Urges States to Protect Medicaid Enrollees Amid Pandemic Relief End.

The Biden administration has urged states to slow down Medicaid cuts after more than a million Americans lost coverage through the program for low-income and disabled Americans in the past several weeks. Most states have resumed checking which Medicaid recipients remain eligible and dropping those who no longer qualify or don’t complete required paperwork. The administration outlined several optional steps states can take to ensure everyone who still qualifies for the safety-net health insurance program stays covered.
