wonder how much of this is folks disenrolled from Medicaid...

10+ million people have been disenrolled from Medicaid. Some are regaining Medicaid coverage & some may be eligible for coverage elsewhere. KFF’s Jennifer Tolbert says “the big question now is if people will find and navigate to other coverage or if they will become uninsured.”

The unwinding process has now hit close to home. I am helping my abuelita navigate the renewal process in Spanish while tackling long wait times on the phone and missing mail. 😬
Definitely do not want her to be added to the 10 million people who have lost Medicaid coverage
Robin Rudowitz retweeted
10 million people is a crazy large number for disenrollments of a public program. It will be really interesting to see how the marketplace handles the influx of people.
